The emerging field of ultra-fast timing has enormous potential in high-energy physics, nuclear medicine, and imaging, and is driving advances in detector and readout electronics. To achieve improved time resolution, significant efforts have been devoted to this field, resulting in impressive coincidence time resolution (CTR) values for silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and scintillator crystals using state-of-the-art high-frequency (HF) readout.
