ASIC

Oral

As the complexity and costs of ASICs designed for high-energy physics experiments continue to soar, verification emerges as a crucial factor in completing projects within reasonable timelines and budgets. Recognizing the escalating significance of verification, CERN and other high-energy physics institutes have invested significantly in enhancing the rigor of this essential process. In this...

213. FPGA Firmware design with High Level Synthesis: Methodology, gains, and pitfalls

Dr Michalis Bachtis (UCLA)

03/10/2023, 16:50

Trigger and Timing Distribution

Oral

High Level Synthesis (HLS) of FPGA firmware using C/C++ has been popular in the design of upgrade trigger systems in High Energy Physics, allowing physicists with no previous firmware expertise to efficiently design digital systems. This presentation will describe the methodology of HLS designs, including comparison of basic building block design of HLS and Hardware Description language...

232. Accelerators overview, outlook, differences, why do we need the different concepts, FCC/e+-/muon..., impact on detector R&D and electronics

Prof. Dave Newbold (STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB))

233. Advancing fusion energy: Meeting the challenges of diagnostics and electronics for the ITER project

Raphael Tieulent

05/10/2023, 10:30

Oral

In the pursuit of clean and sustainable energy, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project has emerged as a beacon of hope. As the world's largest experimental fusion reactor, ITER aims to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion as a viable energy source. However, operating in a challenging nuclear environment presents numerous technical and engineering obstacles that...

9. How the discovery of Cold Noise delayed the production of ATLAS ITk strip tracker modules by a year

Ian Dyckes (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (US)), Dr Matthew Glenn Kurth (Institute of High Energy Physics (CN))

05/10/2023, 16:50

Production, Testing and Reliability

Oral

The construction of the ATLAS strip tracker barrel will require the assembly of 12,000 barrel detector modules over the course of 3.5 years. In 2022, during the module pre-production phase, modules were found to display clusters of noisy channels outside required specifications when tested at operating temperatures (-40 ºC), called “Cold Noise”. Extensive investigations into the cause and...
