Abstract

The design and performance of a new time to digital convertor for the readout of delay line multiwire proportional chambers (MWPC) based on a fast (1 GHz) oscillator is described. Further, a test circuit implementing the space-time-space conversion method was built to prove the practical feasibility of this approach.
