High Rate and High Precision Timing and Calorimeter Detectors

Abstract

High precision timing, high rate calorimeters, and radiation resistance are becoming an important issue in particle physics especially in Energy and Intensity Frontiers. We discuss doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO:Ga or GZO; ZnO:X where X is Al, Cu or others) as a very fast scintillator and wavelength shifter (WLS), Total internal reflection films, and PMT capable of counting at 300 MHz with 10 ps timing precision, with superior radiation resistance.
