A new large area photomultiplier tube based on the microchannel plates (MCP-PMT) with high collection efficiency (CE) and good time performance is proposed in this paper. A novel focusing system with two cylindrical and a conical barrels is designed to generate the accelerating and focusing electric field. A three-dimensional model is developed by CST Studio Suite to validate its feasibility. Finite Integral Technique and Monte Carlo method are combined to simulate the process. Results predict that CE of the novel MCP-PMT is expected to be 100%. TTS of the photoelectrons from the whole photocathode achieves 1.2 ns. Differ from other large area PMTs, it performs well in the geomagnetic field.
