The PRD grant for the development of a high precision particle physics detector led to the construction and successful operation of a novel time of flight detector, achieving 70ps resolution per detected Cherenkov photon (N. Harnew et al., JINST 15 (2020) C04031, arXiv:2003.03373). This research lead directly to the development of commercial micro-channel plate photon detectors, allowing our UK commercial partner (Photek) to bring new products to market https://www.photek.co.uk/products/photon-imaging.html .
