Description

Mu2e is a proposed high-sensitivity muon to electron conversion experiment at Fermilab. The Tracker and Calorimeter together produce an estimated 100 GBytes/sec of zero-suppressed data. With continuous readout (no front-end trigger), the off-detector data rate will be similar to that of the CMS and Atlas detectors. The Mu2e DAQ architecture is based on a single custom component which functions as a readout concentrator, event builder and data pre-processor with a throughput of approximately 5 GBytes/sec per channel. This bandwidth is made feasible by improvements in current networking and processing technology.
