Performance of Large Area Picosecond Photo-Detectors (LAPPD)

We report on performance results achieved for recently produced LAPPDs - largest comercially available planar geometry photodetectors based on microchannel plates. These results include electron gains of up to $10^{7}$, low dark noise rates ($\sim$100 Hz/cm$^{2}$ at a gain of $6\cdot10^6$), single photoelectron (PE) timing resolution of $\sim$50 picoseconds RMS (electronics limited), and single photoelectron spatial resolution along and across strips of 3.2mm (electronics limited) and 0.8 mm RMS respectively and high (about 25\% or higher in some units) QE uniform bi-alkali photocathodes. LAPPDs is a good candidate to be employed in neutrino experiments (e.g. ANNIE, WATCHMAN, DUNE), particle collider experiments (e.g. EIC), neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments (e.g. THEIA), medical and nuclear non-proliferation applications.
