The lower bound on the timing resolution of scintillation detectors
TL;DR: In this work, the Cramér-Rao lower bound on the timing resolution of a scintillation detector, based on the information contained in the full set of registered photons, is calculated and appears to be in good agreement with trends observed in the literature.

Properties of the YAP : Ce scintillator
TL;DR: In this article, a 10 × 10 × 5 mm 3 YAB crystal coupled to the XP2020Q photomultiplier was studied, which exhibited an energy resolution of 5.7% for 662 keV γ-rays fron a 137 Cs source.

Design of the constant fraction of pulse height trigger for optimum time resolution.
D.A. Gedcke,W.J. McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the constant fraction of pulse height trigger has been shown to provide the optimum time resolution with a scintillator-photomultiplier system, and a circuit suitable for general use is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Resolution of Photomultiplier Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of a photomultiplier system to resolve time differences is presented in graphic form and the results are presented in parametric form and hence may be applied to a wide variety of scintillator•photomULTiplier combinations, provided the system is reasonably approximated by the model used in this work.

A constant fraction of pulse height trigger for optimum time resolution
D.A. Gedcke,W.J. McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a fast discriminator has been designed which triggers at a constant fraction of the input signal amplitude, when operated by the anode current pulse from a photomultiplier tube, making it possible to obtain optimum timing over a 100 : 1 dynamic range.

Journal ArticleDOI
Study of High Speed Photomultiplier Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the response of a photomultiplier was presented, which was obtained from direct measurements on a 56 AVP photomULTiplier and used to predict quantities such as distribution of triggering times, pulse shapes, etc.
