The LHCb experiment will use two Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors for particle identification. The RICH detectors will use three radiators to produce Cherenkov light and Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPDs) for single photon detection. Photoelectrons, produced by incident photons at the photocathode of the HPD, are accelerated, demagnified and cross-focussed by electric fields onto a silicon sensor, which is bump-bonded to a pixel chip. A number of pre-series HPDs have been built and tested, operating at the LHC bunch crossing rate of 40MHz. The quantum efficiencies of the HPDs as a function of wavelength have been measured and dark counts and aging tests have been performed. The tests show that the HPDs meet all the requirements of the LHCb experiment.
