ESRF, 12-13 May 2014
Overview
DEELS, 12-13 May 2014, Different Detectors for TCSPC, G.Rehm 2
• So far, we’ve been using TCSPC to measure fill pattern (precise charge in filled bunches) more than single bunch purity.
• More beamlines are starting to use timing and hybrid bunch, anticipate better bunch purity is required
• We are using a PicoHarp 300 with 65536 buckets of 32ps width, 65536 counts depth
• We have acquired various single photon detectors over the years – Hamamatsu MCP-PMT R3809U-50 – id-quantique SPAD id-100-50 – PicoQuant Hybrid PMA – X-ray APD: Hamamatsu S2381 with Picosecond Pulse Labs

Diffusion tail can be suppressed. No impact on afterpulsing.

Summary/Open Issues
DEELS, 12-13 May 2014, Different Detectors for TCSPC, G.Rehm 12
• Hybrid PMA best visible photon detector, but X-ray photon APD is best of all (no news).
• Visible light also easy at lowest beam currents, just take out ND filters.
• For X-ray APD, currently, need to chose threshold for counting high, otherwise dark counts. Then only 0.1 counts per turn at full current. Sees only scatter from Al window.
