The development of large-area MCP-based particle detectors with time resolutions of 5 ps or less [1] would allow substantive advances in particle identification at particle colliders such as the LHC and EIC, high precision mass reconstruction in searches for rare K and η decays, and a reduction by orders-of-magnitude of the radiation dose in positron-emission tomography [2, 3]. We describe a...
To meet the demands of modern detector designs, a new time of flight (TOF) detector based on Large Area Picosecond Photo Detectors (LAPPD) is being developed for the Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FTBF). An array of LAPPDs will be deployed in combination with a multichannel 10 Gsps DAQ based on the PSEC4 ASIC. Timing synchronization over long distance will be achieved using a White Rabbit...
Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) represent the state-of-art technology in fast timing measurement for charged minimum ionizing particles (MIPs). LGADs are initially developed for future Timing Detectors in the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the High-Luminosity LHC. One of LGADs’ key features is the gradient-doped multiplication layer providing intrinsic gain. The intrinsic gain enables the...
We propose a technique to use composite microchannel plate detectors to measure the arrival time of particles. The resistive and electron multiplying functions of a microchannel plate can be constructed by thin coatings on many insulating substrates. Suitable substrates could produce the initial electrons for multiplication in situ. Such composite microchannel plates produced without fiber...
