Testing picosecond level timing detectors at Fermilab's Meson Test Beam Facility

摘要

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL 60510, USA;%The PSEC collaboration is actively pursuing the development of large area photodetectors with fast resolution timing characteristics. As part of that program we are characterizing the timing properties of microchannel plate photomultipliers (MCP/PMT). We report here on the timing resolution for several devices tested in Fermilab's Test Beam Facility.
