Abstract
Time measurements using a fast beam–beam collisions monitor based on chevron assemblies of microchannel plates (MCPs) were simulated in the Quartus software environment. The measurement algorithm was based on the delayed coincidence method. Four-channel electronics for an MCP detector based on high-speed comparators and an EPM240 FPGA (ALTERA) were created. The test prototype was tested using a 4-channel nanosecond pulse generator with an adjustable delay between channels. It was determined that, using these comparators and FPGAs, the time of detection of particles by a detector can be found with an error of 100 ps, and the calculated speed of the readout circuit coincides with the measured one and is no more than 10 ns for each event for the 4-channel system.
期刊介绍：
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics is an international peer reviewed journal published with the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It presents full-text articles (regular, letters to the editor, reviews) with the most recent results in miscellaneous fields of physics and astronomy: nuclear physics, cosmic rays, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, optics and photonics, nanotechnologies, solar and astrophysics, physical applications in material sciences, life sciences, etc. Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics focuses on the most relevant multidisciplinary topics in natural sciences, both fundamental and applied. Manuscripts can be submitted in Russian and English languages and are subject to peer review. Accepted articles are usually combined in thematic issues on certain topics according to the journal editorial policy. Authors featured in the journal represent renowned scientific laboratories and institutes from different countries, including large international collaborations. There are globally recognized researchers among the authors: Nobel laureates and recipients of other awards, and members of national academies of sciences and international scientific societies.
