font-family:Arial'>I was cleaning the slit ensemble in the XL-A and I though of
cleaning the PMT too. So I did it with ethanol and expose the PMT to the light
when the machine was turn on. I read somewhere in this forum that can cause the
PMT to max out, and in fact the intensity was around 6-fold lower than before
the cleaning procedure. I turn off the machine for 12 hrs and the intensity is
still very low, with no apparent recovery. Does anybody know if this PMT will comeback?
