Development of a timing detector for the TOTEM experiment at the LHC

Abstract: he LHC is at present the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, hosted at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva. The TOTEM experiment was designed to measure the total pp cross section and to study elastic scattering and diffractive dissociation at LHC. The protons that underwent elastic interaction are lightly deflected and, to detect them, TOTEM has installed silicon strip detectors at more than 200 m from the interaction point that can transversally approach the beam d… Show more

“…The shape of the signal induced on the electrodes can be derived using the Shockley-Ramo theorem [22]. In particular, assuming a constant and uniform electric field in the crystal (or a regime of saturated velocity) and that the charge carriers drift with the same velocity, it can be shown [23] that the signal generated at the passage of a particle is:…”

“…The optimization was focused on the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) keeping as fast as possible the signal. In fact, a quick rule of thumb to estimate the time precision of a detector is [1]:…”

“…We start by considering the signal average in usually negligible for fast timing, the time walk is assumed to be corrected and the jitter depends on the noise and the slope of the signal as shown in Equation 2. More details can be found in chapter 6 of [30]. The jitter from the TCD is assumed to be uncorrelated.…”
