Characterization of the Response of large-area PMTs for SWGO. — •Frederik Wohlleben, Fabian Haist, Hazal Göksu, and Felix Werner for the SWGO collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, P.O. Box 103980, D 69029 Heidelberg, Germany

The SWGO collaboration aims at building a ground-based gamma-ray detector in the southern hemisphere. A promising approach to build a low-cost water Cherenkov detector with muon-tagging abilities is to deploy a two-chamber bladder containing two PMTs into an open body of water. This talk will give a short overview over the research done on large-area PMTs operated with a custom electronics chain which will be used in prototype SWGO detectors.
