The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector will undergo a major upgrade (Phase-2) to take advantage of the increased luminosity provided by the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). As part of this upgrade, the Tracker Endcap Pixel detector (TEPX) will be introduced as a subsystem of the Phase-2 Inner Tracker, extending the pseudorapidity coverage up to |η|<4. The TEPX consists of eight double-layer...
The Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDC) of the ALICE experiment at the LHC were designed to characterize the event and monitor the luminosity in heavy-ion measurement. The ZDC readout system developed for Run 3, based on a commercial 1 GSps 12 bit digitizer assembled on an FPGA Mezzanine Card, is able to operate in self-triggered mode allowing the acquisition of all collisions without dead time....
The Photon Detection Systems of the DUNE Far Detectors (FD-HV and FD-VD) use large SiPM arrays read out by low-noise, discrete-component amplifiers operating in liquid argon. Signals are transmitted to warm electronics either electrically (in FD-HD and in FD-VD membrane modules) or optically (in FD-VD cathode modules). The warm readout board, DAPHNE, interfaces with all these cold electronics...
The contribution is focused on the new readout electronics for the µ-RWELL-based detectors that should be installed at the LHCb upgrade2 muon system. It is based on the FATIC (FAst Tuning Integrated Circuit) ASIC, providing charge and timing measurements of acquired signals. A first version of the chip, readout and controlled by a custom FPGA board, has been tested both in laboratory and...
The CMS Phase-2 upgrade of the CMS Data Acquisition (DAQ) system is based on the DAQ and Timing Hub (DTH) custom board. The DTH serves as an interface, connecting sub-detector front-end electronics to the DAQ, as well as timing and trigger control and distribution system. This work focuses on the DAQ functionality of the DTH, detailing the current status of the project, including the DAQ...
The CMS MIP Timing Detector (MTD) will deliver a timing resolution of ~30 ps at the beginning of High Luminosity LHC. A unified MTD data acquisition (DAQ) system has been developed to provide data readout, as well as comprehensive control and monitoring functionalities. Precision timing distribution is critical for ensuring stable synchronization and robust calibration procedures. The unified...
The MIP Timing Detector (MTD) is a key component of the CMS Phase-II upgrade for the High-Luminosity LHC. It includes a barrel (BTL) and endcap (ETL) timing layer. The BTL uses LYSO:Ce scintillating crystals coupled to SiPMs, read out by TOFHIR2 ASICs. The system targets a time resolution of 30 ps at the start of HL-LHC operation, degrading to 60 ps by the end due to radiation damage. We...
The BULLKID-DM experiment targets the detection of sub-GeV WIMP-like dark matter candidates using microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs). The experiment foresees the use of over 2000 individually instrumented silicon dice distributed across 15 wafers. We present the architecture of the room-temperature DAQ system based on the ZCU216 RFSoC board, including the design of a custom analog...
A full readout chain based on TIGER, a triggerless ASIC, and on GEMROCs, ARRIA-V FPGA-based readout modules, has been deployed for the BESIII CGEM-IT detector, along with ancillary modules to connect with the pre-existing DAQ.
The full system was installed in the experimental hall at the end of 2024 and it is now being commissioned with the detector with cosmics and beam collision. A...
We report on the performance studies of the SHiP Timing Detector using the FASTIC+ front-end ASIC developed at CERN. The system is designed to achieve sub-100 ps time resolution to suppress combinatorial background in the SHiP experiment. Ongoing work includes comparative tests between FASTIC+ and a discrete electronics board, as well as studies with two scintillator types, EJ-204 and EJ-232....
The High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) is a timing detector designed to mitigate pile-up effects in object reconstruction, arising from increased luminosity in the ATLAS Phase-II upgrade. The demonstrator system is a prototype system incorporating all key components of the HGTD project, developed to validate critical aspects of system integration. Installation and commissioning of this...
The DoWnstream Tracker (DWT) is a system of interconnected FPGAs reconstructing, in the upcoming LHC Run 4, stubs of tracks from the LHCb tracking subdetector located downstream to the magnet (SciFi).
Based on the high parellisable architecture “Artificial Retina”, the DWT aims at accelerating the LHCb reconstruction in the High Level Trigger 1, implemented on GPUs, by injecting track...
