A data acquisition (DAQ) system using 10-15 Gigasamples/second (Gsa/s) waveform sampling ASICs for the readout of large active-area micro-channel plate photomultiplier tubes (MCP-PMTs) is presented.
Currently being developed by the Large-Area Picosecond Photo-Detector (LAPPD) collaboration, a single MCP photo-detector `tile' has an active area of 400 sq. cm and a dual-end, 50-ohm transmission...

The recent progresses in the field of photo-detection have pushed the performances of the detectors toward the picosecond scale. Currently existing electronics dedicated to precise charge and time measurement is mainly based on the use of high-end oscilloscopes. Numerous test benches are also based on both Charge-to-Amplitude Converters and Constant Fraction Discriminators (CFD) associated...

The OMEGA group has designed a new generation of ASICs, the “ROC” family, in AMS (AustriamMicroSystem) SiGe 0.35 µm technology to read out signals from various families of photo-detectors. The chip named MAROC (standing for Multi Anode ReadOut Chip) is dedicated to the readout Multi Anode Photomultipliers (MAPMT), PARISROC(standing for Photomultiplier ARray In SiGe ReadOut Chip) to read out...

The international CTA consortium is currently in the preparatory phase for the development of the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), based on the return of experience from the three major current-generation arrays H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS. To achieve an unprecedented sensitivity and energy range for TeV gamma rays, a new kind of flexible and powerful yet inexpensive front-end...

We are developing an electronics to readout many PPDs for J-PARC (Japan Proton Acclerator Research Complex) E40 in Japan. In the E40 experiment, differential cross section of hyperon-proton scattering will be measured by using a liquid hydrogen target and high intensity pion beam (up to 10 MHz) in the K1.8 beamline. Two different types of new detectors, consisted of scintillation fibers and...

Oral presentation
We describe an inexpensive micro-strip RF anode designed to measure
the time and position in large-area MCP-based photo-detectors. The
anode has been optimized to match the bandwidth of the intrinsically
fast MCPs (risetime < 1ns). The timing, two-dimensional position, and
energy of the MCP pulses are extracted by fast waveform digitization
at both ends of the anode micro-strips. The...
