We supply you with complete coincident time-of-flight measuring units for any independent detector number you specify. Due to the design of our Time to Digital Converters and the time stamp concept for coincidence measurements, the efforts and costs for a coincidence setup raise at most linearly with the number of detectors.
The time stamp concept The idea of the time stamp concept is, to mark every event with a unique number, specifying the time range of the appearance of the event. This time range can be the period between to adjacent laser- or synchrotron-light-pulses or any other time range defining a unique marker for your events. We call this marker the time stamp. In a laser experiment you can e.g. use the laser pulse as a trigger for an external counter. If you store the counter numbers of all events together with the time-of-flight data you can select coincident events by their counter numbers after the measurement has been performed. Thus, you don't have to set any hardware gates to restrict your data flow to a certain class of coincidences but you just scan your data for time stamps fulfilling the coincidence restrictions you define via software. |
