Electronics for Fast Timing

Abstract

Picosecond-level timing will be an important component of the next generation of particle physics detectors. The ability to add a 4 th dimension to our measurements will help address the increasing complexity of events at hadron colliders and provide new tools for precise tracking and calorimetry for all experiments. Detectors are described in detail on other whitepapers. In this note, we address challenges in electronics design for the new generations of fast timing detectors.
