Although the LHC will explore the energy frontier, and is destined to
provide new insights in the fundamental understanding of matter and
space-time, it has its intrinsic limitations. The proposed International
Linear
Collider (ILC) will add significantly to the scientific program of the LHC.
This, however, can only be realized if the experimental challenges of
the ILC can be overcome....

The synchronization of the trigger and data acquisition systems for the Cathode Strip Chambers (CSCs) in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at CERN is described. To date, asynchronous cosmic ray data have been used to define the protocol and to refine timing algorithms, allowing synchronization to be realized within and between chambers. From this baseline, final synchronization of the...

The CMS detector is equipped with Drift Tubes chambers for muon detection in the
barrel region. The Sector Collector modules collect the track segments reconstructed
by on-chamber trigger electronics. Data from different chambers are aligned in time
and sent to the subsequent reconstruction processors via optical links. Several FPGA
devices performing the processing of the data were...
