| contents | PICOSEC is an ultrafast particle-detector concept, combining a photocathode-coated Cherenkov radiator coupled to a gas-avalanche multiplier. Particle-induced Cherenkov photons create photoelectrons emitted from an ultrathin semitransparent photocathode; they are multiplied and detected in fast gas-avalanche mode. In parallel to the constant progress made in the PICOSEC technique, we propose different detector configurations and operation modes with the aim of enhancing robustness and performance. They incorporate thick reflective photocathodes deposited on the readout electrodes of various types of avalanche multipliers. Some of these Reflective-PICOSEC detectors operate at mbar gas pressures. |
