Description

The next-generation of fast time-of-flight detectors, with expected time resolutions ≤ 10 ps and space resolutions ≤ 1 mm, are attractive in many fields, including particle and nuclear physics, medical and industrial applications. We will show how precise timing and space resolution can be used to improve muon cooling measurements for muon collider studies, TOF spectrometry, and particle identification in collider detectors. Results of simulation studies will be presented.
