Abstract
We describe the implementation of an imaging photon detector for
the photon address digital detector system (PADDS). The concept
is based on combining an image intensifier with a position-sensitive
photomultiplier tube with crossed-wire anodes. Particular emphasis
is placed on modularity and flexibility. A digital signal processor
evaluates events in real time. The compact detector system is able
to process photon events with high precision in time with only moderate
computing power of the host system. Laboratory experiments show the
feasibility of the approach presented for observing rapidly varying
sources at low light levels.
