Effect of crystal-photodetector interface extraction efficiency on Cerenkov photons’ detection time by Carlotta Trigila, Emilie Roncali, Emilie Roncali

“…We showed that it not only improves the optical photons (scintillation and Cerenkov) detection efficiency at the photodetector face but directly ameliorates the probability of detecting the fastest one, reducing the effect of thicker materials and of losing the first detected photon information, both crucial to reduce the detector timing resolution. …”
