In this paper, we introduce the positron timing counter (TC) for the MEG II experiment as an application of Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPM) to high-resolution timing measurement. MEG II will search for the μ → eγ decay and needs a precise measurement of the positron timing. The TC is segmented in 512 counters, composed of a scintillator plate...

"The Hot and Energetic Universe" is the scientific theme approved by the ESA SPC for a Large mission to be flown in the next ESA slot (2028th) timeframe. ATHENA is a space mission proposal tailored on this scientific theme. It will be the first X-ray mission able to perform the so-called "Integral field spectroscopy", by coupling a...
