Description

We present a convolutional neural network implementation in the FPGA of an COTS digitizer hardware for realtime determination of particle arrival time in particle counters such as scintillator or semiconductor detectors like diamond or Silicon. Time of arrival determination is especially challenging when detector signals from consecutive particles are piled-up one each other. The presented neural network architecture is trained on scintillator+PMT based experimental data to resolve the particle arrival time with focus on pile-ups. The presented approach has the potential to increase usabaility of time of arrival detectors at higher particle rates.
