Description
A new prototype based on two scCVD layers connected in parallel to the same amplifier has been designed in order to improve the timimng precision of TOTEM - CTPPs Time of Flight detectors. The tests performed during this summer on secondary partycle beams at the CERN North Area will be described in detail, analyzing the dufficulties we had to overcome. The optimization of the front-end electronics, together with the advantages of this set-up brought to obtain around 60 ps of timing resolution, an improvement larger than a factor of 1.6-1.7 for the timing precision of the measurement when compared to a one layer scCVD diamond detector.
Summary
The talk will concern the R&D work on a new Diamond Detector prototype, built to obtain an improvement on the timing resolution of TOTEM CT-PPS Time of flight Detectors. The tests are been performed at the North Area at CERN, during this summer and the results will be explained in detail.
