Abstract

MAGIC, a 17m diameter Cherenkov telescope located on the Canary Island of La Palma, is the biggest IACT (Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope) in the world. For lowering the energy threshold and improving the sensitivity, theMAGIC collaboration is currently building a second telescope (MAGIC II), using Photomultipliers(PMTs) with a better sensitivity. Various measurements of different characteristics of PMTs, such as single photoelectron spectrum(SPE), afterpulse, aging and photoelectron detection were performed. The results from selected PMT candidates of different companies will be presented here.
