Abstract content

MAGIC, a 17m diameter Cherenkov telescope locating at the La Palma Canary island, is the biggest IACT (Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope) in the world. For lowering the energy threshold and improving the sensitivity, the MAGIC collaboration is going to build a second telescope (MAGIC II), using a better sensitivity of Photomultipliers(PMT). Variety of measurements about different characteristics of PMT, such as single photoelectron spectrum(SPE), afterpulse, aging and photoelctron detection were performed in MPI, Munich. These results from selected PMT candidates of different companies will be presented here.
