Description
The CMS MIP Timing Detector (MTD) is designed to provide precision timing information, with resolution of ~40 ps per layer for charged particles, with hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η|=3. The endcap region of the MTD, called the Endcap Timing Layer (ETL), will be instrumented with silicon-based low gain avalanche detectors (LGADs), covering the high radiation pseudo-rapidity region between |η|=1.6 and 3.0. We will provide an overview of the ETL design and present recent results from the R&D and test beam studies of the LGAD and the readout ASIC performance.
