<div><font size="2">Hi Hovanes,<br>
with my naive plugin looking at tagger time minus RF time I see a sigma of about 400ps.<br>
nothing sophisticated to optimize the result.<br>
I see similar sigmas for the PS tiles times where I use the PS coarse counters as time reference.<br>
Also, the PS tiles do not have TDCs only fADCs.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I added several more pictures and "movies" to the photo album of the tagger microscope:<br>
https://photos.app.goo.gl/Q9To4SutT7854mmV6<br>
I highlighted a few points with three picked out pictures (see attached pdf file)<br>
With the green laser shining into the front face of the scintillator one can nicely see<br>
where the "losses" are in the fiber front face, in the fused section and along the light guide.<br>
<br>
In addition, I looked at the timing resolution of the pair spectrometer tiles and I find in <br>
my quick and dirty approach very similar timing resolutions as for tagger microscope<br>
of order 300ps.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Beni<br>
