PeeEmTee: A python/numpy-based package for analyses of PMT characterisation measurements — •Jonas Reubelt, Tamás Gál, and Johannes Schumann — ECAP, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erwin-Rommel-Str. 1, 91058 Erlangen

Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are frequently used as high-sensitivity light sensors in modern physics detectors. Precision measurements employing PMTs require a detailed understanding of the sensors' behaviour in low light-level environments. The PeeEmTee package (https://github.com/JonasReubelt/PeeEmTee) provides functionalities fundamental for PMT characterisation under such conditions, like a routine for fitting PMT response functions to charge distributions. The physical modelling of PMTs that went into PeeEmTee, as well as the concept and base functionality of the package will be presented.
