Two fast interaction trigger systems based on fast detectors with MCP-PMTs and SiPMs readout have been developed for fixed target experiment Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron and collider experiment ...Multi-Purpose Detector at Laboratory of High Energy Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. These detectors provide the effective L0 trigger for nucleus–nucleus collisions and the start pulse T0 for TOF detectors with picosecond time resolution. Important requirement to the detectors is good operation in a strong magnetic field.
•L0 trigger systems for heavy ion experiments at JINR are described.•The MCP-PMTs and SiPMs are used for readout in Cherenkov and scintillation detectors.•The detectors operate in a strong magnetic field.•T0 pulse with picosecond time resolution is produced for TOF detectors.
Scintillation detectors with SiPM readout are developed for trigger systems and neutron time-of-flight measurements in the framework of the NICA project at JINR. Some detectors are operated in a ...strong magnetic field of the BM@N and MPD setups. New projects of detectors with picosecond time resolution for trigger of nucleus–nucleus collisions in collider experiment and neutron time-of-flight measurements are discussed.

The BM@N facility is a fixed target experiment based on heavy ion beams of the Nuclotron-M accelerator. The aim of the BM@N is to study nucleus – nucleus collisions at energies up to 4.5 GeV per ...nucleon. A level 0 trigger processor unit (Trigger L0 unit, T0U) for the BM@N deuterons and carbon ions at Run’2015 has been developed. The T0U is used to generate a BM@N zero level trigger and a TOF detector precise start.T0U generates trigger signal based on beam line and target area detector signals. This module also provides both control and monitoring of the detector front-end electronics power supplies. This article presents a concept, characteristics and test results of the T0U module during the Run 2015.
Fast Cherenkov and scintillation detectors based on microchannel-plate photomultiplier tubes and silicon photomultipliers are being developed for application in the multi-purpose detector and ...baryonic matter at the Nuclotron experiments with the heavy ion beams at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The aim of the detectors is the fast triggering of nucleus–nucleus collisions with high efficiency and to generate the start signal with picosecond time resolution for time-of-flight measurements. The detectors provide a time resolution better than 50 ps and can operate in the strong magnetic field of the experimental facilities.
