Abstract
Motivated primarily by the MAGIC atmospheric Cherenkov telescope project, w e have developed a "LEGO" Hybrid Photon Detector (HPD) comprising excellent focusing properties and protection against positive ion feedback. LEGO-HPD is supposed to be assembled from standard high vacuum components, which in sures simplicity in the assembly procedure and reliability of operation. (C ) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
