Barium tungsten electrode plays an important role as cathode material in photomultiplier tube. Photomultiplier tube is a highly sensitive photodetector, which is widely used in particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and other fields to detect weak light signals. Its working principle is to use the photoelectric effect to convert light signal into electronic signal, and then amplify the electronic signal through the electron multiplication mechanism, and finally output the electrical signal. 1. The Role of Barium Tungsten Electrode The cathode…
