Abstract
The influence of plasma on subnanosecond timing with a surface barrier detector for α-particles was studied. An initial delay was found to be inversely proportional to the electric field and it was about 1 ns for 104 V/cm. A time resolution study showed a significant time jitter also inversely proportional to the electric field. This effect is interpreted as being associated with the plasma discharge and it is called plasma time jitter.A time resolution of 180 ps fwhm was obtained for 5.7 MeV α-particles detected by the 50 pF surface barrier detector in coincidence with about 200 keV electrons detected by a plastic scintillation counter. The time resolution of the surface barrier detector alone was estimated to be 130 ps fwhm.
