Abstract

Purpose

A compact T0 detector with high time resolution is developed.

Methods

The T0 detector is based on a multi-anode MCP-PMT coupled with two fused quartzes. The characteristics of this MCP-PMT are studied by a fast laser pulse in laboratory firstly. Cosmic ray test has been carried out to study T0 detector’s signal features and time resolution.

Conclusions by off-line analysis

The T0 detector’s time resolution is less than 40 ps for the cosmic ray events. It can be applicable in cosmic ray test, beam test, collider experiment and detector developments.
