The Tile Calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment is being upgraded for the
high luminosity LHC. The powering scheme of the calorimeter modules has been updated to provide higher efficiency and redundancy. Switching power supplies used in each module are responsible for providing power to the front-end electronics. The original power supplies, which are currently being used in the detector, lack...
The consolidation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Beam Position Monitor (BPM) requires digitising analogue signals from more than 1000 dual-plane BPMs using radiation-tolerant analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs). To this end, two commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) quad-channel, 12-bit ADCs operating at up to 1.6 Gsps were tested. Both ADCs were evaluated for cumulative radiation effects and...
The dual-radiator RICH detector of the ePIC experiment at the future Electron-Ion Collider will use more than 300 thousand SiPM pixels as photosensors, organized in more than 1000 Photodetector Units (PDU). Each PDU is a $\sim$5x5x12 cm$^3$ module that includes 4 custom ASICs, connected to 256 SiPMs, and a FPGA-based card (RDO) controlling the readout. Considering dRICH moderately hostile...
