E. Cantatore et al., STATISTICAL-ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF DELAY-LINE CHAINS FOR PIXEL READOUT ELECTRONICS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 395(3), 1997, pp. 318-323
An analytic model of the variance of the delay given by the delay line
integrated in the Omega3/LHCl pixel readout chip is proposed and veri
fied with experimental data. This model can be used to further tune th
e design in order to maximise delay uniformity, thus optimising pixel
detector time resolution.
