What is the intrinsic limit What is the intrinsic limit for TOF for for TOF for relrel. particles?. particles?
Typical path lengths for light and electrons are set by physical dimensions of the light collection and amplifying device.
These are now on the order of an inch. One inch is 100 psec. That’s what we measure- no surprise! (pictures swiped from T. Credo talk at Workshop)

develop new MCPs optimized for timingWe are working with Jerry V’avra (SLAC) on measurement setups (Karen and Gary at ANL have the setup).

StatusStatus1. Have a simulation of Cherenkov radiation in MCP into electronics2. Have placed an order with Burle- have the 1st of 4 tubes and have a
good working relationship (their good will and expertise is a major part of the effort): 10 micron tube in the works; optimized versions discussed
3. Have licence and tools from IHP working on our work stations-Tang is adept and fast working with them. Excellent support from Cadence.
4. Have modeled DAQ/System chip in Altera (Jakob Van Santen: Sr)5. ANL has put together a test stand with working DAQ, has bought a
very-fast laser, has made contact with advanced accelfolks:(+students)
6. Have established strong working relationship with Chin-Tu Chen’s PET group at UC; source of good students; common interests (withSaclay too). Hope can establish a program in the application of HEPto meds
7. Harold and Tang have a good grasp of the overall system problemsand scope, and have a top-level design plus details
8. Have found Greg Sellberg at Fermilab to offer expert precision assembly advice and help (wonderful tools and talent!).
9. Are working closely with Jerry V’avra (SLAC); will work with Saclay
9/21/2006 HJF DOE Review 31
Next StepsNext Steps1. Start testing the MK-0 device we have (ANL)
2. Understand the electrical circuit in the MCP and specify the next model (MK-I) we want
3. Finish the design and place the order to IHP for the 1st chip.
This was the text on my penultimate slide at the workshop at Arlington TX in April

The Hard PartsThe Hard Parts-- RealityReality
1. Haven’t yet plugged in a device- all simulation2. Harold and Paul Mitchell (Burle) have taught us that the hard
part is the return path from MCP-OUT to the Gd3. Haven’t yet submitted a design to IHP- don’t know the
realities of making chips (in progress as we speak)4. Have no equipment to test these chips when we get them5. Have no experience on how to measure device performance
when we actually get them.
6. We are a small group- lots to do!
