Conclusions • Time resolution of ~180ps rms on the detection of a single 405nm laser photons. • Time resolution dominated by the scintillator length • Thermal noise of ~400kHz on 1x1mm2 SiPMs • New test board on development using differential readout • New version of NINO including 32 channels available F.
