摘要：

Large-area, multi-pixel photon counters will be used for the electromagnetic Barrel Calorimeter of the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab. These photo sensors are based on a 3 x 3 mm(2) cell populated by 50 mu m pixels, with 16 such cells tiled in a 4 x 4 arrangement in the array. The 16 cells are summed electronically and the signals are amplified. The photon detection efficiency of a group of first-article units at room temperature under conditions similar to those of the experiment was extracted to be (28 +/- 2(stat) +/- 2(syst))%, by employing an analysis methodology based on Poisson statistics carried out on the summed energy signals from the units.
