Abstract:
Readout circuitry for a PMT is provided, which is adapted for delivering a pair of first and second synchronous output voltage signals to a pair of outputs, the first output signal of the pair having a first AC portion being representative of a charge flow of an anode of the PMT over time, the second output signal of the pair having a second AC portion which corresponds to an inverted form of the first AC portion of the first output signal. The readout circuitry comprises a first sub-circuitry which is adapted to derive the first output signal from the charge flow over time of the anode, and a second sub-circuitry which is adapted to derive the second output signal from a charge flow over time of at least one dynode of the PMT.

Claim (Index 8):
The readout circuitry of  claim 7 , wherein the first resistor element, being R AL , the second resistor element, being R AH , the third resistor element, being R DL , and the fourth resistor element, being R DH , satisfy the following conditions for maximum one output voltage, V h , and minimum other voltage, V l , at maximum charge flow from the anode over time:\n V h =V CM +U MAX /2= V DD \u00b7R AL /( R AH +R AL ), V l =V CM \u2212U MAX /2= V DD \u00b7R DL /( R DH +R DL ), and U MAX =R AG \u00b7I MAX  R AG =R DG \u00b7G dyn  with R AG =( R AL \u00b7R AH )/( R AH +R AL ), R DG =( R DL \u00b7R DH )/( R DH +R DL ), where V DD  is the voltage level of the first and second voltage sources, V CM  is the mean of the output voltages, U MAX  is a predetermined maximum voltage swing,\n V CM =( U A out + +U A out \u2212 )/2, \n G dyn  is the current amplification gain of the at least one dynode, and I MAX  is the maximum charge flow from the anode over time.
