“…The HPTDC records the time of both the leading and trailing edges of the signal, allowing for time-walk corrections to be performed as a function of the reconstructed input charge value. In Run 3, additional DRUs are also equipped with a second type of mezzanine, based on the SAMPIC [176] fast waveform sampler. This allows the readout of the full analog signal shape, for calibration purposes, on a fraction of the data, for trigger rates up to 100 kHz.…”

Since the initial data taking of the CERN LHC, the CMS experiment has undergone substantial upgrades and improvements. This paper discusses the CMS detector as it is configured for the third data-taking period of the CERN LHC, Run 3, which started in 2022. The entire silicon pixel tracking detector was replaced. A new powering system for the superconducting solenoid was installed. The electronics of the hadron calorimeter was upgraded. All the muon electronic systems were upgraded, and new muon detector stations were added, including a gas electron multiplier detector. The precision proton spectrometer was upgraded. The dedicated luminosity detectors and the beam loss monitor were refurbished. Substantial improvements to the trigger, data acquisition, software, and computing systems were also implemented, including a new hybrid CPU/GPU farm for the high-level trigger.

“…In the last few years fast digitizers have become more and more common in timing applications. For example, the SAMpler for PICosecond time pick-off (SAMPIC) chip [36], designed and realized by a collaboration including IRFU/SEDI, Saclay and LAL, Orsay, is capable of sampling up to 10 GSa/s at a cost per channel that is comparable to a Time to Digital Converter (TDC). The SAMPIC chip was used in the TOTEM Timing Detector [3,37].…”

Timing detectors are a well-established part of High Energy Physics experimental instrumentation. The choice of sensors with fast (less than 10 ns) and precise (better than 100 ps) signals, together with radiation resistance considerations, are an essential part of the design of a timing detector. In this paper, the main characteristics that make single diamond crystal sensors ideal for timing applications will be described and an introduction to the design of fast front-end electronics will be given. Finally, two examples of diamond timing detectors used in High Energy Physics, the START detector of HADES and the TOTEM/CMS timing detector, will be discussed.
