The Electric Field Detector (EFD-02) on board of the second China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES-02) will measure the ionospheric electric field components at a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) over a wide frequency band (DC - 3.75 MHz) and with less than 1 \muV/m/\sqrt{Hz} sensitivity. EFD-02 will measure the voltage differences between pairs of probes installed at the tips of four booms...
We present the design and performance of the new On-Board electronic for the Drift Tubes (OBDT) for the superlayer theta along the direction parallel to the beam-line, built to substitute part of CMS DT Muon on-detector electronics. The OBDT-theta is responsible of the time digitization of DT chamber signals for the theta view, allowing further barrel muons tracking and triggering. It's also...
For the High Luminosity-Large Hadron Colider (HL-LHC) phase, the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is undergoing a major upgrade with a complete redesign of the on- and off-detector electronics. In the new readout architecture, the calorimeter signals are digitised every 25 ns directly on-detector and transferred to the off-detector Tile PreProcessor (TilePPr) via high-speed optical links. The...
The Serenity-S1 is a Xilinx VU13P based Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) processing blade that has been optimised for production. It incorporates many developments from prototype cards and where possible adopts solutions being used across CERN. It uses many new parts because commonly used parts have disappeared from the market during the semiconductor crisis with only...
New advanced front end electronics are designed for the improved RPCs of CMS experiment for data taking during HL-LHC era. This electronics is developed to read out the RPC detectors from both ends of a signal strip, using a new ASIC, iRPCROC, which triggers the Cyclone V FPGA to record the timing information, allowing the correct identification of the position along it. The on-chamber results...
The newly build Constant Fraction Discriminator (CFD) with an additional
Time over Threshold (ToT) measurement capabilities designed by Peter Lichard, CERN, will be presented. It operates in a wide dynamic range 1:150, with an excellent time resolution better than 70 ps over one order of magnitude. It is highly customizable for a different signal shapes and thresholds, thanks to a remotely...
For optimal operations in the high radiation and pileup environment of the HL-LHC, the CMS-HGCAL requires precise timing information at the level of 30ps (RMS) for a particle shower. The time measurement in Silicon detector modules is performed using a per-channel time-of-arrival discriminator coupled with charge measurement to correct for the time-walk. The module design includes...
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are widely used for several applications, such as High Energy Physics experiments, as well as other research and industrial fields. SiPMs working at low temperature, in particular, are the most interesting application for the newly large particle detectors for neutrinos and dark matter experiments. In this work we present a low-noise, high-speed front-end...
