T0 Time Resolution

•The collision time depends on the average between the time of T0N and T0P: tcol = (T0N + T0P)/2 - distance/c.

•

•Based on the observed resolution in the time difference spectra we expect that the time resolution of prompt-prompt T0 coincidences is 75 ps.

•

•But we do not have any way of determining whether the first hit is a prompt hit. We need to understand how this will contaminate the time spectra.
