TileCal is the hadronic tile calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment at LHC/CERN.
The Read-Out Driver (ROD) is the main component of the TileCal back-end
electronics. The ROD is a VME 64x 9u board with multiple programmable devices
which requires a complete set of firmware. This paper describes the firmware
and functionalities of all these programmable devices, especially the DSP...

ILC not a triggered experiment, but during detector development it may
be useful to operate in a triggered mode. A Trigger/Tagging Logic Unit
(TLU) is described which allows triggered operation, with option of
smooth transition to triggerless, data-driven mode. The TLU is being
developed as part of the EUDET programme to develop test-beam
infrastructure for ILC detector development.

A portable readout system for micro-strip silicon sensors has been developed.
The system uses an analogue pipelined readout chip, which was developed for
the LHC experiments. The system will be used to characterise the properties of
both non-irradiated and irradiated micro-strip sensors. Heavily irradiated
sensors will be operated at the Super LHC.
The system hardware has two main...

The hit data has to be read out and must be digitized, synchronized, formatted and transferred over the S-Link to the final CMS DAQ. The amount of data can only be handled because the readout chip (ROC) delivers zero-suppressed data above an adjustable threshold for every pixel.

The cluster width of a particle crossing a silicon strip (mini strip) detector can be exploited to measure its transverse momentum when the strips are parallel to the B field. This suggests the discrimination of the clusters widths to filter the majority of low momentum particles.
Once performed directly on the detectors, such discrimination can be used both for low level trigger (L-1,L-2)...
