Description
We have tested a prototype time-of-flight counter for the CLEO II experiment. Time resolution of 110 ps was achieved using conventional phototubes. Several phototubes are compared against one another, and we also present results from a different design incorporating microchannel plate phototubes. Our results suggest that for the conventional phototubes the time resolution is largely due to statistical fluctuations in the electrons produced at the photocathode. (orig.)
