Imaging properties of the HPD The plot shows the relation between the coordinate on the photoceathode and the coordinate on the silicon sensor. The slope of the curve determines the demagnification
Point spread function The plot shows the charge distribution on the silicon sensor for an illumination with a point like light source.
