  2. Photomultiplier tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier_Tube

    The most negative voltage is connected to the cathode, and the most positive voltage is connected to the anode. Negative high-voltage supplies (with the positive terminal grounded) are often preferred, because this configuration enables the photocurrent to be measured at the low voltage side of the circuit for amplification by subsequent ...

  3. Photomultiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier

    A photomultiplier is a device that converts incident photons into an electrical signal.. Kinds of photomultiplier include: Photomultiplier tube, a vacuum tube converting incident photons into an electric signal.

  4. Parent management training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_management_training

    Parent management training (PMT), also known as behavioral parent training (BPT) or simply parent training, is a family of treatment programs that aims to change parenting behaviors, teaching parents positive reinforcement methods for improving pre-school and school-age children's behavior problems (such as aggression, hyperactivity, temper tantrums, and difficulty following directions).

  5. Dark current (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_current_(physics)

    In physics and in electronic engineering, dark current is the relatively small electric current that flows through photosensitive devices such as a photomultiplier tube, photodiode, or charge-coupled device even when no photons enter the device; it consists of the charges generated in the detector when no outside radiation is entering the detector.

  6. Scintillation counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillation_counter

    Apparatus with a scintillating crystal, photomultiplier, and data acquisition components. animation of radiation scintillation counter using a photomultiplier tube. When an ionizing particle passes into the scintillator material, atoms are excited along a track.

  7. Protection motivation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_Motivation_Theory

    PMT is one model that explains why people engage in unhealthy practices and offers suggestions for changing those behaviors. Primary prevention involves taking measures to combat the risk of developing a health problem [3] (e.g., controlling weight to prevent high blood pressure).

  8. Scintillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillator

    A scintillation detector or scintillation counter is obtained when a scintillator is coupled to an electronic light sensor such as a photomultiplier tube (PMT), photodiode, or silicon photomultiplier. PMTs absorb the light emitted by the scintillator and re-emit it in the form of electrons via the photoelectric effect. The subsequent ...

  9. Program-specific information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program-specific_information

    PMT (Program Mapping Table) NIT (Network Information Table) The MPEG-2 specification does not specify the format of the CAT and NIT. PSI is carried in the form of a table structure. Each table structure is broken into sections, although some tables like a PMT cannot have more than one section. Each section can span multiple transport stream ...
