The generalized centroid difference method provides two independent “start” and “stop” timespectra obtained without any correction by a superposition of the N(N − 1)/2 calibrated γ-γ time differencespectra of the N detector fast-timing system. The two fast-timing array time spectra correspond to a forwardand reverse gating of a specific γ-γ cascade and the centroid difference as the time shift between the centroidsof the two time spectra provides a picosecond-sensitive mirror-symmetric observable of the set-up. The energydependentmean prompt response difference between the start and stop events is calibrated and used as a singlecorrection for lifetime determination. These combined fast-timing array mean γ-γ zero-time responses can bedetermined for 40 keV < Eγ < 1.4 MeV with a precision better than 10 ps using a 152Eu γ-ray source. Thenew method is described with examples of (n,γ) and (n,f,γ) experiments performed at the intense cold-neutronbeam facility PF1B of the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France, using 16 LaBr3(Ce) detectors withinthe EXILL&FATIMA campaign in 2013. The results are discussed with respect to possible systematic errorsinduced by background contributions.
