SAFIR (Small Animal Fast Insert for MRI) is a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) insert for the Bruker BioSpec 70/30 pre-clinical MRI (Magnet Resonance Imaging) system. It is aiming at truly simultaneous PET/MRI acquisitions allowing imaging time frames of seconds instead of minutes. SAFIR is intended for operation at up to 500MBq injected activities in mice, 10x higher than in other systems....
AGIPD is one of the detectors developed for the experimental stations of the European XFEL, one of the newest free-electron laser sources. The detector pixels write high dynamic images from single up to 104 12.5 keV-photons at a maximum frequency of 4.5 MHz operating in a burst mode – read-out is performed between the bursts. There are certain challenging optimizations done to the...
HDM is a new Hybrid Detector for medical application combining a tissue equivalent microdosimeter and a LGAD-based (Low Gain Avalanche Diode) particle tracker with the goal of improving the radiation quality description. Energy deposition information after analog processing is recorded with 3 ADC mounted on a FPGA based solution, while tracking information is processed by a dedicated readout...
The High Energy Particle Detector (HEPD-02), part of the CSES-02 satellite, is a compact particle
detector composed by a 3-layer pixel silicon tracker and a calorimetric system.
HEPD-02 will be the first spaceborne instrument using Monolithic Active Pixels (MAPS) in place of micro-strips detectors;
the tracker is composed of 150 CMOS 180 nm sensors, based on the development carried out for...
The readout system of the Mu2e electromagnetic calorimeter is composed of a front-end which collects and transmits the SiPM signals to a waveform digitizer performing a 200 MHz sampling. The Mu2e harsh operational environment (Total Ionizing Dose (TID) of 12 krad and neutron fluence of 5x1010 n/cm2 @ 1 MeVeq (Si)/y, 1T magnetic field, level of vacuum of 10-4 Torr) has made the design...
A cost-effective single-die pixel-detector hybridisation technology based on Anisotropic Conductive Films (ACF) is under development, to replace fine-pitch bump bonding with thermo-compression of conductive micro-particles embedded in an epoxy film. It can also be used for the integration of hybrid or monolithic detectors in modules, replacing wire bonding or solder-bumping techniques. An...
The High Granularity Timing Detector for the ATLAS upgrade is under construction to meet the challenges of the HL-LHC. In order to connect a module, the basic detector element, to the surrounding peripheral electronic board, a flexible printed circuit (FPC) is proposed as an interconnection for data transmission and power distribution. Identical design for the FPC is required except their...
Multi-chip modules using the MALTA1 pixel sensor have been built to validate the direct transfer of data from chip to chip and to read out the module via one chip only. Novel interconnection technologies such (ACF, nanowires) have been investigated to build a compact module. A lightweight flex with 17um trace/spacing has been designed that will allow compact packaging with a direct attachment...
The CMS detector will undergo an upgrade for Phase-2 of the LHC
program. The back-end electronics will be implemented as ATCA node
boards, connecting to the central systems via a custom `DTH' hub
board.
Instead of a traditional distribution tree, the CMS Phase-2 Trigger
and Timing Distribution System (TCDS) will use a configurable
switching network to connect multiple hardware `run...
Establishing a reliable and efficient method to control electronics system consisting of many boards is critical in the system design. Among unique requirements for the control in high energy physics experiments, we propose a maximally-automated and self-driven scheme for a system that exploits FPGAs, SPI flash memory devices, and high-speed fixed-latency optical links. We have implemented our...
A slim vertical slice of the CMS Outer Tracker has been assembled at the Tracker Integration Facility at CERN. It includes the final 2S and PS front-end hybrids with an optical link to the back-end ATCA system, comprising the Data, Trigger and Control (DTC), DAQ & Timing Hub (DTH) and Track Finder (TF). The performance of the system will be described, such as the real-world cooling limits of...
We present the design and performance of the Hexaboard, a complex hexagonal multi-layer PCB equipped with multiple HGCROC ASICs to read out the signals from silicon pads with low noise and large dynamic range. The Hexaboards are glued to silicon sensors and connect to them via wire bonds through holes in the PCBs. The Hexaboard also connects to mezzanine boards for powering, data concentration...
The electronic system of the CMS Drift Tubes (DT) chambers will be replaced to operate during High Luminosity (HL-LHC). The upgraded architecture ships all signals to the backend, where complex logic will be performed with a precision matching the maximum chamber resolution. A demonstrator has been installed during Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) in one of the sixty sectors of the detector. Over LS2 we...
We present the commissioning and the running experience of the CMS GE1/1 system which has been installed in CMS in October 2020. Since then, GE1/1 has been commissioned and it is now ready for LHC Run-3. The GE1/1 detectors are read-out by the VFAT3 chip which communicates with the microTCA backend through the versatile link. Each detector has 24 VFAT3s, 3 GBTx, 3 VTRx, 2 VTTx, and a Virtex-6...
The CMS BRIL project upgrades its instrumentation for the Phase-2 detector to provide high-precision bunch-by-bunch luminosity and beam-induced background measurements. A part of the CMS Inner Tracker - the Tracker Endcap Pixel Detector (TEPX) - will allocate a fraction of the read-out bandwidth for luminometry. In order to be used for luminosity measurement, TEPX will require a dedicated...
Caribou is a flexible open-source DAQ system developed and used within several collaborative frameworks (CERN EP R&D, RD50, AIDAinnova) for laboratory and high-rate beam tests and easy integration of new silicon-pixel detector prototypes. It uses common hardware, firmware and software components that are shared across different projects, thereby reducing the development effort and cost for...
The RD51 collaboration pursues research activities on Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors. One of its achievements is the development of a common multi-purpose readout system, the RD51 Scalable Readout System (SRS). Successfully established within the community, the SRS was enhanced by integrating the ATLAS/BNL VMM3a front-end ASIC. The outcome is a self-triggered continuous readout system for any...
