This paper describes the use of the time-of-flight (TOF) technique as a particle identification method for the HERMES experiment. The time-of-flight is measured by two 1x4 m^2 scintillation hodoscopes that initially were designed for the…

Time-of-flight (ToF) measurements is a possible alternative to anti-scatter grids in computed tomography (CT). Simulations have shown a possible 75% reduction in the detrimental scattering contribution with a 100 ps FWHM timing resolution.…

The aim of this work is to develop high precision Time-of-Flight (TOF) devices based on high refractive index solid Cherenkov radiators read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Cherenkov light is prompt and therefore ideal for reaching…
