Abstract

Prototype of the fast timing Cherenkov detector, applicable in high-energy collider experiments, has been developed basing on the modified Planacon XP85012 MCP-PMT and fused silica radiators. We present the reasons and description of the MCP-PMT modification, timing and amplitude characteristics of the prototype including the summary of the detector’s response on particle hits at oblique angles and MCP-PMT performance at high illumination rates.

Highlights

Modern comprehensive detection systems for the high-energy physics experiments often require relatively simple subdetectors able to generate trigger signals with the best timing in the shortest period of time
The experimental setup is shown in figure 2: time resolution of the tested device was measured relatively to the average timing of the two Cherenkov counters based on FEU-187 PMTs
Time resolution of the Cherenkov counters serving as time trigger and the tested Cherenkov modules with the standard and modified versions of the XP85012 MCP-PMT is shown in figure 3
