Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this article a novel design for signal anodes for ultrafast microchannel plate detectors is introduced. A detector assembly was designed and built with an impedance-matched transition line (50 Ω line resistance) from anode to cable connector which is considerably smaller than other, commercially available, solutions and at the same time has about four times the active area with no limitations for up scaling to even larger active areas. Theoretical proof is given that the impedance matching can be achieved over the entire transition line. The design makes use of a bipolar geometry and is flexible to accommodate differing experimental needs. The design was chosen to optimize for small overall size with good temporal response at the same time. The detector was tested with an alpha particle source and an excellent time response was obtained. Although the design was driven by special needs for space application the detector can be applied wherever short timing pulses are needed.
