## TL;DR

This paper reviews high-precision timing measurement techniques across various detector technologies, addressing practical issues and hidden challenges in implementing these systems for future experiments.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of different detector types and discusses practical testing issues and challenges often overlooked in high-precision timing measurements.

## Key findings

- Comparison of detector performance in different configurations
- Identification of common hidden problems in timing measurements
- Insights into scaling from small tests to large systems

## Abstract

Detector examples discussed: MRPCs, MCP-PMTs, Diamond detectors, SiPMTs, Low and high gain Avalanche diodes (LGADs) and Micromegas. We specifically discuss issues such as single pixel vs. multi-pixel tests, small test vs. large physics system results and hidden problems people usually do not want to talk about.
