Their motion inside the magnetic field is quite complex and involves oscillations with different periods – essentially they are like a spinning top, but instead of precessing around only one axis, they can precess around three.

Making a 25ps resolution Time-to-Digital converter on an Artix-7 FPGA
Published:
I want to share a small project I did in which a 25 ps Time-to-Digital converter is implemented in an Artix-7 FPGA. The goal was to be able to measure tiny intervals between singals from two photomultiplier tubes. Finally, a fast digitizer was better suited for the job, but nevertheless the TDC works well and could be useful. Read more
Pretty matplotlib pgf figures in Latex documents

In my experience adding matplotlib figures into Latex documents is not trivial
at all, unless you are satisfied with a simple non-vector png. I will try to

your tex file later. The usual disclamer is valid here: it works on my
machine and I can’t guarantee that it will work on yours. As of now, I am using
python 3.9 and matplotlib 3.4. After the tutorial you can expect some
result as the one shown in the figure below.
