چکیده

We measured the timing resolution of TOF counters by means of Cherenkov-light detection with a Micro-Channel Plate PhotoMultiplier Tube, and attained sTOF 1⁄4 6:2 ps using 3GeV=c pion-beams with a readout electronics of 4.1 ps resolution. The optimum radiator thickness was examined and the detectable number of photo-electrons was analyzed. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 85.60.Ha; 29.40.Ka; 42.70.Ce

MCP-PMT timing property for single photons

We have measured the performance, especially the timing properties, of micro-channel plate photo-multiplier tubes (MCP-PMTs) by irradiating with single photons with/without a magnetic field. A time resolution of s 1⁄4 30–35 ps was obtained for single photons under 1:5 T: With an MCP-PMT, a small time-of-flight counter, by means of Cherenkov light radiation instead of scintillation light has bee...

Cross-talk suppressed multi-anode MCP-PMT

We have developed a 4-channel multi-anode MCP-PMT, SL10, which exhibits a performance of σTTS ≃ 30 ps for single photons with G ∼ 10 6 and QE = 20% under a magnetic field of B ≤ 1.5T . The cross-talk among anodes has been extensively studied. We have taken two measures to suppress it: one is to configure the SL10 to an effectively independent 4 small pieces of MCP-PMT’s by segmenting an electro...

Beam test of a Time-of-Flight detector prototype

We report on results of a Time-of-Flight, TOF, counter prototype in beam tests at SLAC and Fermilab. Using two identical 64-pixel Photonis Microchannel Plate Photomultipliers, MCP-PMTs, to provide start and stop signals, each having a 1 cm-long quartz Cherenkov radiator, we have achieved a timing resolution of σSingle_detector ~14 ps. To be published in Nucl. Instr.& Methods ——— • Manuscript re...

Lifetime-extended MCP-PMT

In order to develop a long-lifetime MCP-PMT under high rates of circumstance, we investigated the degradation of the quantum efficiency (QE) of PMT’s with a multialkali photocathode. We found that not only positive ions, but also neutral residual gases would damage the photocathode resulting in an enhancement of the work function; their countermeasures were established in newly manufactured squ...

Development of Pulse Width Measurement Techniques in a Picosecond Range of Ultra-short Gamma Ray Pulses

Ultra-short gamma ray pulses of the picosecond and femtosecond range can be generated using laser Compton scattering with 90-degree collisions at the UVSOR-II electron storage ring. Measurement techniques for a gamma ray pulse width in the sub-picosecond to picosecond range are being developed. As the first stage of the development, we tested a pulse width measuring method for the gamma ray pul...
