5. Constellation - a Flexible Control and Data Acquisition Framework for Test Beam Environments

Stephan Lachnit (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

5/19/25, 5:30 PM

Talk

The qualification of new detectors in test beam environments presents a challenging
setting that requires stable operation of diverse devices, often employing multiple
data acquisition (DAQ) systems running on several machines. Changes to these
setups are frequent, such as using different reference detectors depending on the
facility. Managing this complexity necessitates a system capable...

16. A Python-based Control Software for the AIDA-2020 Trigger Logic Unit and Tests in High-Rate Test Beam Environments

Rasmus Partzsch (University of Bonn)

5/19/25, 5:50 PM

Talk

The AIDA-2020 Trigger Logic Unit (TLU) synchronizes different detector systems in test beams such as beam telescopes, time reference planes, and devices under test to identify tracks and accurately reconstruct particle trajectories.
The hardware offers a large set of features and provides flexible support for different test beam setups, including different trigger modes (legacy EUDET and AIDA...

45. Beam Telescopes at the DESY II Test Beam

Adrian Herkert (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

5/19/25, 6:10 PM

Talk

A large part of the global test beam community relies on EUDET-type beam telescopes, which are provided as common infrastructure at the DESY II Test Beam and other major facilities. Considering their age, outdated components, and the increasing performance requirements for detector development, it is clear that an upgrade will become necessary soon. Among the distinguishing features of the...

51. TDAnalyser - A Practical Framework and Its Applications in Test Beam Timing Analysis

Onur Potok (Istanbul University (TR))

5/20/25, 10:00 AM

Talk

We present a novel framework for the processing of test beam data, and in particular timing DUTs. Based on a modular C++ architecture, it aims to normalise workflows for the analysis of timing detectors performances through the definition of standard and user-defined analyses, e.g. from time discrimination algorithms to a full estimation of time resolution, through the extraction of...

32. Advancements and future expansions of the Caribou DAQ system

Younes Otarid (CERN)

5/20/25, 10:20 AM

Talk

Caribou is a versatile data acquisition system used in multiple collaborative frameworks (CERN EP R&D, DRD3, AIDAinnova, Tangerine) for laboratory and test-beam qualification of novel silicon pixel detector prototypes. The system is built around a common hardware, firmware and software stack shared accross different projects, thereby drastically reducing the development effort and cost. It...

4. Design of the Detector Systems in HPES Test Beam Terminals

Dr Yuhang Guo (Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS)

5/20/25, 11:10 AM

Talk

The High-energy Proton Experiment Station (HPES) is currently being constructed as part of the CSNS-II project. The 1.6 GeV protons are extracted from the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron of CSNS and directed to the HPES in the form of "single particle beam". Two test terminals have been designed in the HPES to facilitate the completion of beam tests. The HPES is designed to serve as an advanced...

12. babyMOSS Telescope for ALICE ITS3 Pixel Sensor Characterization

Iaroslav Panasenko (Lund University (SE))

5/20/25, 11:30 AM

Talk

The current ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS2) is based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) called ALPIDE. During LHC Long Shutdown 3, its three innermost layers will be replaced by the ITS3 detector. It will based on wafer-scale silicon sensors of up to 26 cm $\times$ 10 cm, thinned to about 50 $\mu$m and curved into truly cylindrical detector layers. The first prototype of the sensor -...

50. A silicon strip detector based beam telescope system for charge and position measurement of ions

Zijun Xu (Chinese Academy of Sciences (CN))

5/20/25, 11:50 AM

Talk

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer(AMS-02) is a particle detector that operates on the International Space Station(ISS), which aims to search for antimatter, and dark matter while performing precision measurements of cosmic rays composition and flux. To improve cosmic ray acceptance and heavy ions resolution, a new layer(L0) of silicon strip tracker will be installed on top of AMS-02. Multiple...
