Popis:	The very high quantum efficiencies and low dark count rates achieved with selected RCA C31034 photomultipliers make them attractive candidates for single photoelectron fast timing experiments. Single photoelectron plateau counting and a timing resolution of 0.60 nsec (FWHM) were obtained using fast amplifiers, constant fraction timing discriminators, and a pulsed light emitting diode. A redesign of the C31034 incorporating features of the very fast C31024 is suggested to yield even better timing resolution.
