    A new high-precision timing sensor — the Radio-Frequency Photo Multiplier Tube (RF PMT) — has been recently developed and tested. The detector performs circular scanning of photoelectrons or secondary electrons using a dedicated radio-frequency (RF) deflector operating at 500–1000 MHz. The scanned electrons are detected by a position-sensitive system comprising dual chevron microchannel plates...

    MCP-PMT devices represent the state-of-the-art in terms of picosecond timing resolution combined with low noise, high gain, and radiation hardness. However, with experiment upgrades producing higher luminosities, there are concerns over the ability of the existing technologies to achieve sufficiently high rates and longer tube lifetime in terms of extracted charge. To overcome these...
