163. Picosecond timing performances of the FERS-5200 readout system

Mr Massimo Venaruzzo (CAEN)

Next generation high energy physics experiments will feature high-granularity detectors with thousands of readout channels, thus requiring ASICs (low power and dimension).
CAEN FrontEnd Readout System (FERS) integrates ASICs on small, synchronizable and distributable systems with Front and Back Ends. The A5203 FERS houses the recently released CERN picoTDC ASIC and provides high-resolution...

167. Efficiency and time resolution of a thin gap Resistive Cylindrical Chamber

Alessandro Rocchi (INFN e Universita Roma Tor Vergata (IT))

The Resistive Cylinrical Chamber (RCC) is a new gaseous detector designed
to overcome some limitations of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), broadening
their application range and performance. The RCC consists of two concentric
cylinders made of resistive material which define a gas gap whose thickness is
almost negligible with respect to the cylinder radii. The cylinder surfaces not
facing...

171. A method to design a fast hybrid photodetector based on the RPC structure

Giulio Aielli (INFN e Universita Roma Tor Vergata (IT))

The idea of using gaseous detectors to amplify photo-electrons emitted by an embedded photocathode has been declined in may ways in the last decades, using different gaseous detector structures, including RPCs. Moreover, coupling such structures with a radiator element, enables these devices to detect charged particles, though the radiated photons.
There are at least two main challenges in...

39. A high rate and high timing gaseous photodetector prototype with RPC structure

Mr Yiding Zhao (USTC(University of Science and Technology of China))

13/09/2024, 13:00

In order to meet the requirements of high-rate and high time resolution in future high energy physics experiments, a prototype of gaseous photodetector with RPC structure was developed in this paper. The performance of the detector was simulated in Garfield++, and the single-photoelectron performance in different gases was tested using ultraviolet laser. The detector useed a low resistivity (~...

55. Progress with the nRPC-4D detector concept for neutron scattering applications: assessment of XYZ-position and nTOF readout capability in beam tests

Luís Margato (Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particles Physics, Dep. of Physics, University of Coimbra)

13/09/2024, 13:20

Building upon our prior work on the development of the neutron RPC detection technology [1, 2], we have recently introduced the nRPC-4D detector concept. It provides high cold/ thermal neutron detection efficiency and the capability to simultaneously readout the XYZ-position of each detected neutron and its time-of-flight (nToF). For the simplicity of construction and maintenance, the...
