 94Best fit of the template shape to an example pulse, plotted over the full range of the pulse. The lower plot shows the difference between each data point and the fitted curve, with 3 mV error bars corresponding to oscilloscope noise, over the range of interest. 93An examples of a Gaussian fit to an MCP pulse, plotted above a graph showing the difference between the fitted curve and data points. The error bars correspond to 3mV white noise on the oscilloscope. On this plot, the pulse is fitted over the full range. 92An examples of a Gaussian fit to an MCP pulse, plotted above a graph showing the difference between the fitted curve and data points. The error bars correspond to 3mV white noise on the oscilloscope. This plot shows the prescription used in the data analysis of fitting the rising edge only. The solid line and closed circles on the right correspond to the region used in the fit. The dashed line and open points are included to show the fit beyond the range of interest. 90Mean differential time between the arrival of the pulse at the two ends of the microstripline anode, plotted as a function of position along the anode. 89Illustrating the positions of the parallel anode scan. 88 The structure of an $\LAPPD$ photomultiplier tube. 87Single-photoelectron time resolution measured in the 8" chamber, binned by noise/signal ($2 \sigma$ error bars). Slight improvements are seen with larger signals, but the single-PE resolutions are limited by fundamental constraints such as pore diameter and asymptotically approach 42 psec for large S/N. 86The amplitude distribution of pulses from the 8" chamber (in thick black), showing the separation between the peak of the distribution and the pedestal near zero. The shaded blue region shows the same distribution after applying the TOT cut and requiring only one pulse. 85Average pulse shape in the 8" chamber for three different photcathode voltages: 500 V (thick line), 200 V (thin line), 100 V (dashed), with 1 kV across each MCP, 500 V across the inter-MCP gap, and 400 V accross the anode. 84 Average pulse shape for 500 V (thick line), 200 V (thin), and 100 V (dashed) across the anode gap, with 400 V across the photocathode and 500 V across the inter-MCP gap.
