Summary  Reducing the pixel size to 0.5 o is necessary for improving the performance of Cherenkov telescope.  New detector simulation will be done in near future to evaluate the performance of Cherenkov telescope.  We have selected four kinds of PMT candidates and one of candidates is measured, which meets our requirement.  May be the ASIC of JEM-EUSO will meets the fluorescence mode requirement. The more details of the ASIC is needed.
