PImMS: A self-triggered, 25ns resolution Monolithic CMOS Sensor for Time-of-Flight and Imaging Mass Spectrometry

In this paper, we present the Pixel Imaging Mass Spectrometry (PImMS) sensor, a pixelated Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor for use in mass spectrometry. The device detects any event which produces a signal above a programmable threshold with a timing resolution of 25ns. Both analogue and digital readout...
