Description
New experiments are attempting to measure time together with position. The aim is to reach single photon timing resolution at a level of ~100ps for RICH detectors and 20-30ps for minimum ionizing particles in TOF detectors. The talk discusses present limits and judges what is realistically achievable. Detector examples discussed use of MRPCs, MCP-PMTs, Diamond detectors, SiPMTs, Low and high gain Avalanche diodes (LGADs) and Micromegas. We specifically discuss issues such as single pixel vs. multi-pixel tests, small test vs. large physics system results and hidden problems people usually do not want to talk about.
