117. ILC Detector R&D

Marcel Demarteau (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL))

Oral

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....

74. SYNCHRONIZATION OF THE CMS CATHODE STRIP CHAMBERS

Dr Gregory Rakness (Univ.of California Los Angeles UCLA)

Oral

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...

54. DT Sector Collector electronics design and construction

Dr Luigi Guiducci (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN))

07/09/2007, 10:10

Oral

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...
