Spatial resolution improvement of PICOSEC Micromegas precise timing detectors
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The combination of a Cherenkov radiator with a semi
transparent photocathode and a Micromegas based amplification stage
allows PICOSEC Micromegas detectors to achieve a time resolution of
better than 15 ps. While tileable prototypes with 10×10
channels feature 1 × 1
cm
2
readout pads, finer readout
granularity can be used to improve the spatial resolution. We report
on the study of high readout granularity PICOSEC Micromegas
prototypes which achieve around 0.5 mm spatial resolution with
3.5 mm large pads. No significant improvement was found when
readout pad size was further reduced to 2.2 mm. The timing
resolution of the leading pad was found to be slightly degraded but
remained better than 20 ps for a medium granularity prototype. The
achieved spatial resolution can enable PICOSEC Micromegas to be used
as precise timing and moderate resolution tracking detector
simultaneously.
