TWIST Technote 58
Status and Tests of the Capacitive Probe Time of
Flight for Particle ID
Blair Jamieson, March 2002
In this document, the circuit used in November 2001 to produce a time
of flight with the CP signal (CP-TOF) will be described. The method of
selecting muons from the CP-TOF spectrum will be reviewed. Finally, by
using information from the Proportional Chambers (PCs) in the TWIST
spectrometer, two simple tests of particle identification by the CP
signal will be presented.
This document is not intended to be a comprehensive study of TOF, but
rather it is a status report on the state of the time of flight in
November 2001 data.
