• The RED-100 two-phase liquid xenon emission detector is developed today for the experiment aimed at searching for elastic coherent neutrino scattering off atomic nuclei. The main elements of the photodetector system of the RED-100 detector are Hamamatsu R11410-20 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) dedicated for low-background experiments and liquid xenon environment. The basic characteristics of the PMTs are investigated, in particular, noise pulses and afterpulses, which may cause difficulties in searching for rare events. Amplitude distributions of the noise pulses and time distributions of the afterpulses, as well as the dependences of the noise pulse rate on the PMT bias voltage and the temperature are presented.
