timingdetektorer
Timingdetektorer are measurement devices designed to determine the arrival time of individual particles or photons with high time resolution. They are used to establish precise event timing in experiments, perform time-of-flight measurements, time-stamp events for correlation with other subsystems, and enable fast imaging in medical and scientific instrumentation.
They convert the energy deposited by a particle or photon into a fast electrical signal, and the
Technologies commonly used include scintillation detectors with fast photodetectors such as microchannel plate photomultipliers or silicon
Applications span several fields. In high-energy physics, timingdetektorer enable time-of-flight particle identification and help reject pile-up
Future directions aim at achieving ever-better time resolution, higher rate capability, and greater radiation hardness, often
