Abstract

Described herein are technologies related to detecting an event and computing a high resolution time value that indicates when the event was detected. Detector circuitry includes a pixelated array of photodetectors, where the detector circuitry is adapted to detect neutrons upon occurrence of a nuclear event. Timer circuitry includes a coarse counter, first ramp circuitry, and second ramp circuitry, and is adapted to compute a time value with a resolution of between 1-50 picoseconds based upon a count value output by the coarse counter and values of voltage ramps output by the first and second ramp circuitry.
