Signal Processing and Machine Learning Algorithms for Precise Timing with PICOSEC Micromegas DetectorsHigh particle rates in current and future experiments make pile-up phenomena a critical issue for extracting useful information. In this context, timing can be important as the 4$^{\mathrm{th}}$ dimension parameter for triggering or event reconstruction. The PICOSEC-Micromegas detector has been shown to offer precise timing of the order of tens of\,ps. In this work, novel signal processing algorithms are being developed and evaluated to demonstrate the technology's ability for online precise ti…
