Triggering and data acquisition in High-Energy Physics, even in pretty simple cases, require a mixture of electronics, detector and software competences. Indeed, asynchronous signal handling may present critical issues in both digitization and trigger generation.
As a function of the experimental conditions, the physics results may suffer from problems, for example, in signal-to-noise...

Precise measurement of the time of arrival of ionizing particles can be useful in High Energy Physics experiments, for example in high pile-up environments (4D tracking), like for the future generations of colliders, or for particle identification using the time of flight. More precise detectors are also useful outside the HEP community, for instance to increase the accuracy of PET, reducing...
