                            - Numerous outcomes have been assisted by the work documented in this paper, which was part of the FP7 project BriteSpace, 313200. This paper strongly contributed towards obtaining a H2020 Attract project (Next Generation of time to digital converters – NXGTDC) for further development of timing electronics with industrial partner QLM (Aston, Dr Nock; QLM, Chief Technical Officer) (€100k, 2019 to 2020), to develop multi-channel time-to-digital converters and correlators. After the success of the Attract project, the technology is being utilised in the innovate UK project led by QLM, SPLICE (total grant £2,442,955).
