Description

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment will consist of seventeen separate detector subsystems distributed in three underground experimental halls. There will be eight PMT based anti-neutrino detectors (ADs), six water-Cherenkov detectors, and three RPC detector subsystems.  Each will be readout using an independent VME crate with a self-contained trigger.  A master trigger module will be deployed in each detector hall that will process and issue trigger signals between VME crates, as well as external trigger signals.  A system overview will be presented along with design and performance details for the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment DAQ and trigger systems.
