9. B M C The disadvantages of construction and production technology of PMT FEU-HIVE-1 Lead-in contacts (Kovar rings) leaving on outside surface of PMT case creates difficulties for connections to PMT contacts in case of photodetector plane. Technology of glass case-Kovar rings welding is very delicate process that demands the special equipment. Absence of this equipment leads to considerable marriage at carrying out of manual welding. Production of Kovar rings, preparation rings and glass cases to welding are not cheap and simple operations. Technology of evaporation of dynode active layer is very unstable. This items are cause of design of the new PMT FEU-HIVE-2 construction and changes of some technological operation.

23. B M C Plan of works on PMT FEU-HIVE and WLS at 2008 and 2009 Production of the first samples of FEU-HIVE-2 -end 2008. Production of few tens samples -end 2009 of FEU-HIVE-2 and study their characteristics. Study of WLS film efficiency in -end 2009 the optical region 120nm-400nm. The main condition of performance of works is a financing of works.
