Hi, good morning.

 

Just a quick question, please, although it may be difficult to answer yet.
I’ve been said that GaAsP and/or HyD detectors might have shorter lifetimes
than conventional PMTs, so that they might even be considered fungible
materials. I am assuming a proper use of that detectors.

 

Is this true or just a rumour?

 

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Regards,
