Abstract: A new multianode photomultiplier tube, type H6568 manufactured by Hamamatsu company, has been tested in view of using it for measuring Cherenkov rings in the HERA-B experiment. The results of measurements of single-photoelectron pulse-height distributions, uniformity of response, cross-talk, photon detection efficiency, rate dependence of the gain and ageing will be presented and discussed. In addition, the response of the PMT to scintillations of perfluorobutane (C 4 F 10 ), argon and air has been measured.
