Abstract
In the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), the main physics objectiveof the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) is to survey the gamma-ray sky continuouslyin the energy range from 100 GeV to PeV. The Water Cherenkov detector array, covering an area of about 78,000𝑚$^2$ area, is constituted by 3120 detector units divided into 3 separate arrays. In the second and third array are installed 2220 20" PMTs instead of the 8 PMT usedin the first 150×150𝑚$^2$ array. This type of PMT has large sensitive area, high quantum efficiency (QE), and large peak-to-valley (P/V) ratio for single photoelectron detection.In this work, we will report on the application of 20 inch MCP-PMT.
