<div dir="ltr"><div>I have few doubts regarding Dielectric_metal surfaces for optical photon detection. <br><br>1. Consider photons are moving from a crystal to PMT, and there is a Dielectric_metal surface between them. My doubt is, will the R.I of PMT matters or only the efficiency, reflectivity of the surface matters ? <br>
<br></div>2. Let the crystal and PMT be daughter volumes of SPECThead system. I have defined a Dielectric_metal surface between <b style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">PMT and crystal</b> and ran a macro, I got photons detected by the Dielectric_metal surface at the PMT and crystal junction ( -1.709e+02 in mm ). Next time I defined a Dielectric_metal surface between<b> <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">PMT and SPECThead</span></b>, even then I got photons detected by the surface at PMT and crystal junction ( -1.709e+02 in mm ). Is this expected ?<br>
