The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The prototype with a 10MΩ resistive layer achieved the best overall performance, with a timing resolution of 22.900 ± 0.002 ps and a spatial resolution of 1.190 ± 0.003 mm, while charge sharing across multiple pads enabled combined timing resolutions below 28 ps.

C2weakest assumption

That the controlled beam test conditions at CERN SPS H4 with constant drift gap and field configurations accurately represent performance in real experimental environments with varying radiation and mechanical stresses over long periods.

C3one line summary

Resistive PICOSEC Micromegas detectors with a 10MΩ layer achieve 22.9 ps timing and 1.19 mm spatial resolution, demonstrating improved stability for gaseous timing detectors.
