Abstract: The magnetic characteristics of R5610A-01 photomultiplier tubes are studied in this paper. The experimental data shows that the gain of R5610A-01 loses about 53% when the magnetic field is 3 Gs along its +X axis. A cylinder of one-layer permalloy strip is able to reduce the effect of a 3 Gs magnetic field on the PMT gain to less than 1%.
