The photo-cathode of the photomultiplier tube generates one


A scintillation spectrometer consists of an anthracene crystal and a 10-stage photomultiplier tube. The crystal yields about 15 photons for each 1 keV of energy dissipated. The photo-cathode of the photomultiplier tube generates one photo-electron for every 10 photons striking it, and each dynode produces 3 secondary electrons. Estimate the pulse height observed at the output of the spectrometer if a 1 MeV electron deposits its energy in the crystal. The capacitance of the output circuit is 1.2 × 10-10 F.
