3 TNOs smaller than 20Km diameter can t be directly detected by any telescope Occultation is the only way to detect them
4 Diffraction of Occultation The period for the occultation is about 0.2s. Better resolution in time can provide more information for the size and distance of the objects. TAOS2 sampling is 20Hz
5 Plausible Options Readout at 20MHz but with low noise Typical rate ~ few Ke 2e read noise can be achieved by amplifying the signal before readout Electron multiplication CCD (EM or L3 CCD) Readout the area with stars only 1000 stars in each chip 6x6 pixels per <100KHz CMOS sensor EM CCD generates more noise for bright objects and requires good gain control.

25 Conclusion In order to meet the TAOSII image sensor requirements a CMOS detector has been chosen specified with an high level of flexibility leading to the following features: Pixel: 5T technology with a pixel pitch of 16µm. Noise floor aimed at 3e - RMS and 74dB dynamic range (in rolling shutter only) Cryogenic dark current < 1e-/pixel/s (on-going activity at e2v to test similar pixel down to -80oC) 8 each or 16MHz in total with possibility to extend each output to 7MHz. Region of interest and Multi-ROI available in both directions. Possibility to jump in both directions. Row access by half of the row: left half and right half independent access. Read while acquiring pixel of the next row. High frame rate, combining pixel acquisition while reading and ROI/JUMP, down to 6µs. Rolling shutter and electronic global shutter modes available. Anti-blooming built-in. Solution stitch-able 1D. The first results are expected by end summer Slide 25
