Optical propagation time in matter could reveal fruitful information, such as the velocity of light and the samples refractive index. In this paper, we build a simple and robust setup for measuring the optical propagation time in matter for a known distance, the system uses high frequency square signal as the signal carrier, and a lock-in amplifier is employed to obtain the phase difference between the reference square signal and the other one penetrating the sample, in this way the optical time of flight in matter can be obtained by a background subtraction process. Primary experimental result confirms the feasibility of the newly proposed measuring theory, which can be used to measure easily in high-speed the speed of light and the refractive index of optical transparent material, compared with the currently popular measuring technique using oscilloscope, potential advantage of our proposed method employing lock-in amplifier is that high accuracy are promising, and in contrast with the presently most popular method for measuring the samples refractive index based on the minimum deviation angle, superiority of our suggested method is the easy preparation of the sample, the convenient operability and the fast measuring speed.

The setups for precise measurements of the time structure of Nuclotron internal and slowly extracted beams are described in both hardware and software aspects. The CAMAC hardware is based on the use of the standard CAMAC modules developed and manufactured at JINR. The data acquisition system software is implemented using the ngdp framework under the Unix-like operating system (OS) FreeBSD to allow the easy network distribution of the online data. It is demonstrated that the described setups are suitable for the continuous beam quality monitoring during the experiments performed at Nuclotron.
We describe here a new concept of a Cherenkov detector for particle identification by means of measuring the Time-of-Propagation (TOP) of Cherenkov photons.
We describe a setup for performing inelastic X-ray scattering measurements at the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) endstation of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). This technique is capable of performing high-, meV-resolution measurements of dynamic ion features in both crystalline and non-crystalline materials. A four-bounce silicon (533) monochromator was used in conjunction with three silicon (533) diced crystal analyzers to provide an energy resolution of ~50 meV over a range of ~500 meV in single shot measurements. In addition to the instrument resolution function, we demonstrate the measurement of longitudinal acoustic phonon modes in polycrystalline diamond. Furthermore, this setup may be combined with the high intensity laser drivers available at MEC to create warm dense matter, and subsequently measure ion acoustic modes.
The main characteristics of the COMPASS experimental setup for physics with hadron beams are described. This setup was designed to perform exclusive measurements of processes with several charged and/or neutral particles in the final state. Making use of a large part of the apparatus that was previously built for spin structure studies with a muon beam, it also features a new target system as well as new or upgraded detectors. The hadron setup is able to operate at the high incident hadron flux available at CERN. It is characterised by large angular and momentum coverages, large and nearly flat acceptances, and good two and three-particle mass resolutions. In 2008 and 2009 it was successfully used with positive and negative hadron beams and with liquid hydrogen and solid nuclear targets. This article describes the new and upgraded detectors and auxiliary equipment, outlines the reconstruction procedures used, and summarises the general performance of the setup.
The Time-Of-Propagation (TOP) counter is a novel device for particle identification for the barrel region of the Belle II experiment, where, information of Cherenkov light propagation time is used to reconstruct its ring image. We successfully finished the detector production and installation to the Belle II structure in 2016. Commissioning of the installed detector has been on going, where the detector operation in the 1.5-T magnetic field was studied. Although we found a problem where photomultipliers were mechanically moved due to the magnetic force, it was immediately fixed. Performance was evaluated with cosmic ray data, the number of photon hits were confirmed to be consistent with simulation within 15-30%.
