Understanding VSiPMT: a comparison with other large area hybrid photodetectors

High energy physics community is continuously working on development of new photodetectors able to improve their experiments detection performances and so to increase the possibility of new discoveries and new important scientific results. The first attempt to enhance the performances of classical PMTs by substituting the dynode chain is represented by MCP-PMTs. In addition to that, one of the strategies adopted to reach this goal is to realize hybrid photodetectors, that are new photomultipliers containing a semiconductor device within a vacuum tube. In the last years, basically three competitors entered in this new class of photosensors: HPDs, ABALONE and VSiPMT. In this article we will analyze how the operation principle of VSiPMT affects its detection performances and we will compare them to the other new photosensors: MCP-PMTs, HPDs and ABALONE.
