< 10 ps TOF counterTOP counter の photon detector の開発が動機。要請する性能を満たすもの⇒ PMT, HAPD & MCP へ。この過程で MCP-PMT の光時間分解能を活用し TOF counetr を発想。回路を除くと 5 ps の分解能をすでに得る。 By doing R&D on these issues, most of them are now in satisfaction. In the course of R&D studies, we come across an idea to have less 10 ps TOF counter.

⇒ With different TTS [ L16(TTS=80 ps) & MCP(TTS=46 ps) ] and similar Nγ’s, observed = 11-12 ps is attained,where the circuit fluctuations (7-9 ps) dominate the ambiguity.

● window thickness = 4 mm ⇒ Nγexpected = 25 photons vs. Nγdetected = 50 photons
Inspection: 0 = [ 13.62 – 92 ]1/2 = 10 ps = 46 ps/ 21 (photons)
21 photons vs. 25 / 50 photons⇒ Timing of photons from the 1st MCP plate is 100 ps earlier than those from photo-cathode, but its gain would be lower so that effective # of photons would be less than 25. ⇒ Yield of 25 photons is really from the MCP?
Footnote: 実測値=13.6 psec 。 GaAs photo-cathode にすれば photon 数は2倍、分解能=10 psec が期待できる。 MCP-PMT 自体が高分解能 TOF counterとして働く。
MCP had a 4 mm-thick quartz window, so that about 20-25 detectable photo-electrons were expected while we observed about twice. At the time, it was inferred that the extra photons more than the expectation might be yielded by MCP layer itself. However, the measured and readout system resolutions of 13.6 ps and 9 ps indicate the intrinsic resolution of the MPC be 10 ps, which corresponds about detectable 20 photo-electrons. Where these extra photo-electrons come from is a mystery. Anyway, MCP itself provides 10 ps resolution.

In a case the most photons produced at the window, equipping thicker window, 10 mm, would improve TOF resolution better than 10 ps.

Circuit error
Footnote: MCP-PMT(HPK10) の window を 10 mm の quartz とする。また、回路系の分解能=9→7 psec とする。そうすると、 MCP-PMT 単独で分解能=9 psec が期待できる。ただし、 GaAsP photo-cathode を想定していない。また、 HPK10(TTS= 46 psec )でなく、 HPK6 ( TTS=30 psec )ならば window は5.6 mm でよい。 総体として、回路系の分解能を改良することが最重要。
MCP-PMT (TTS=46 ps)
When MCP has a thick quartz window, say, 10 mm, then 60 photo-electrons and 6 ps resolution are expected. Including readout system uncertainty, suppose to be it 7 ps, results in 9 ps accuracy in total. If MCP having better TTS and better circuit are prepared, the resolution will be improved.

MCP-PMT (TTS=30 ps)
Footnote: 10 mm の quartz 輻射体を設ける。 Photon 数は60( quartz から)と50( PMT から)であり、回路系の分解能=9→7 psec とする。その結果、分解能=8 psec が期待できる。 MCP-PMT を HPK 6 (TTS= 30 psec )でなく HPK 10( TTS= 46 psec )とすると分解能=8-9 psec が期待できる。ただし、 GaAsP photo-cathode を想定していない。

=30ps/ 60(110) =3-4 ps with 7 ps circuit error
= 8 ps
Or, put 10 mm-thick quartz in front of MCP, for instance, with 30 ps TTS. 3-4 ps intrinsic resolution is attained. Readout system uncertainty would dominate the resolution of 8 ps.

ADC distribution of MCP-plate alone
Although the number of the photo-electrons increases by using thicker quartz, the resolution gradually deteriorates. It is because the uncertainty of the light path due to the quartz thickness.
Almost 1 photo-electrons is seen on an average. The extra photo-electrons are not produced at MCP, it might be at the MCP window.

∝ 1/
The choice of photo-cathode material is quite essential. GaAsP indicates much higher QE and wider sensitive frequency range. BINP serves Blue extended GaAs window, which also has a good property. Suitable choice of the material would improved TOF resolution by enlarging the number of photo-electrons.
In order to further improve the resolution, we need more photo-electrons. Using thicker radiator rather deteriorates the resolution. Our detector equips already 10 mm-thick quartz. How to increase the number of photo-electrons?
