Description
The future generation of water Cerenkov detectors gives the possibility to look into new models for the individual photodetectors used in these large-scale systems. For this,
Canada has proposed a model for the upcoming Hyper-Kamiokande which constitutes of a matrix of PMTs (called a multi-PMT). Some of the improvements of this proposed model with reference to others are shown in this presentation, giving an analysis of effective area, quantum efficiency and collection efficiency for photon wavelengths in the Cerenkov spectrum. Details on how to further upgrade such model are also mentioned.
