\begin{frame}{Timing Mechanisms}
	\begin{block}{Why improve timing accuracy?}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item Better statistics (narrow down direction of air showers)
			\item Interferometry
		\end{itemize}

		\begin{itemize}
			\item Simulations for synchronisation techniques

		\item GNSS (online)
		\item Beacon (offline)
	\end{itemize}
	\end{block}
	\vspace{2em}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item GPS Accuracy $\leq 30 \mathrm{ns}$ for $95$\% time (often better)
		\item Total time accuracy in the order of 5 -- 10~ns
		\item More accurate reference timing needed to characterise/improve current mechanisms.
	\end{itemize}
