“…An interesting alternative method of digitization has been proposed in the literature, under the name of "Time-over-Threshold" [3,4]. The ToT method takes advantage of the fact that the shape of the PMT output pulses is, to some t V V threshold ToT (Time-over-Threshold) extent, predictable: the pulses can be approximated as standard shape curves or a superposition of many such curves.…”

High-energy cosmic rays are one of the primary sources of information for scientists investigating the elementary properties of matter. The need to study cosmic rays, with energies thousands of times larger than those encountered in particle accelerators, led to the development of modern detection hardware and experimental methodologies. We present a low power, low complexity data acquisition (DAQ) system with 100 ps resolution, suitable for particle and radiation detection experiments. The system uses a Multiple-Time-over-Threshold (MToT) technique for the treatment of the output signal of Photo Multiplier Tubes (PMTs). The use of three thresholds compensates for the slewing effects and offers a more accurate measurement of the PMT pulses' width. For the evaluation of the pulse the system uses comparators and a Time-to-Digital (TDC) converter, whereas the pulses are time-stamped using the GPS signal.The prototype card is analyzed for its noise behavior and is tested to verify its performance. The system has been designed for the HEllenic LYceum Cosmic Observatories Network (HELYCON) Extensive Air Showers (EAS) detector.

“…The position resolution of the TGC using fast digital readout from the strips and Time-over-Threshold method [3], as well as its dependence on the impact angle, were measured with the ISO GeV/c muons from the SPS-HS test beam at CERN. Previous CERN pion test beam results, the muon test beam resolution measurements achieved with a larger prototype and the radiation tests are described in [4] and [5].…”

The forthcoming luminosity upgrade of LHC to super-LHC (sLHC) will increase the expected background rate in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer by approximately the factor of five. Some of the present Muon Spectrometer components wiD fail to cope with these high rates and wiD have to be replaced. The results of a test of a device consisting of Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) and a fast small diameter Muon Drift Thbe Chamber (sMDT) using the ISO GeV/c muons at the SPS-HS muon beam at CERN are presented. The goal of the test was to study the combined TGC-sMDT system as tracking and triggering device in the ATLAS muon spectrometer after high-luminosity upgrades of the LHC. The analysis of the recorded data shows a very good correlation between the TGC and sMDT track position and inclination. This technology otTers the combination of trigger and tracking and has good angular and spatial resolutions. The angular resolution is 0.4 mrad for each system individually. For the spatial resolution, the width of the track residual between TGC and sMDT is 104 /-tm at zero degree impact angle.
