The Time-Of-Flight Detector

The time-of-flight system measures the transit time of particles travelling from the interaction region, which helps in charged particle identification. Its main job is, however, to aid in the rejection of cosmic ray events and generate trigger signals. It is divided into two parts, the time-of-flight barrel (TB) and the tile endcaps (TE)
