F. Cipriani et al., ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO DELAY-LINE READOUT FOR MULTIWIRE PROPORTIONAL CHAMBERS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 346(1-2), 1994, pp. 286-291
The design and performance of a new time to digital convertor for the
readout of delay line multiwire proportional chambers (MWPC) based on
a fast (1 GHz) oscillator is described. Further, a test circuit implem
enting the space-time-space conversion method was built to prove the p
ractical feasibility of this approach.
