摘要
Using two identical 64-pixel Burle/Photonis MCP-PMTs (micro-channel plate PMT) to provide start and stop signals, we have achieved a timing resolution of sigma(Single_detector)similar to 7.2 ps for N-pe similar to 100 photoelectrons (N-pe) with a laser diode providing a 1 mm spot on the MCP window. The limiting resolution achieved was sigma(Single_detector)similar to 5.0 ps for N-pe similar to 250, for which we estimate the MCP-PMT contribution of sigma(MCP-PMT)similar to 4.5 ps. The electronics contribution is estimated as sigma(Electronics) = 3.42 ps. These results suggest that an ultra-high-resolution TOF detector may become a reality at future experiments one day.
