Mrs Nadia Pastrone (I.N.F.N. Torino)15/09/2005, 14:00OralCMS designed an high precision electromagnetic calorimeter, to be operated reliably in the high radiation environment of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), inside the 4 T magnetic field. Innovative solutions were developed to place the front-end electronics within the detector with the advantage of minimizing external noise, while reducing the number of optical links to send data...

Mr Werner Lustermann (Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule, ETH Zurich, Switzerland)15/09/2005, 14:25OralThe CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter consists of roughly 76000 lead tungstate crystals. Nearly 25000 Printed Circuit Boards of 5 different types and about 5500 Gigabit Optical Links are used to process the signals of the photo-detectors and to send the resulting data to the off- detector electronics. The integration of this electronics together with its cooling system, mechanical...

Caroline Collard (LLR Ecole Polytechnique)15/09/2005, 14:50OralThe Front-End (FE) boards are part of the on-detector electronics system of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter ECAL. Their numerical functionalities and properties are tested by a dedicated test bench located at Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet, prior to the board integration in the CMS detector at CERN. XFEST, acronym for eXtended Front-End System Test, is designed to perform tests...

Mr Wojciech Bialas (CERN)15/09/2005, 15:15OralThe CMS Preshower detector (ES) comprises ondetector and offdetector components of the readout and control system, as well as the powering system and optical links. The fast control system is largely built around the one originally conceived for the CMS Tracker (FEC, DOH, CCU etc.) whilst the readout part profits from developments made for the CMS ECAL (DCC, GOH, AD41240). There are two...

Dr Kostas Kloukinas (CERN)15/09/2005, 15:40Production, Testing, Quality Assurance and ReliabilityOralThe AD41240 is a custom made 12-bit 40 MSPS, quad-channel, radiation tolerant analog- to-digital converter for the front-end readout electronics of the CMS ECAL and Preshower detectors. The A/D converter features a special digital circuitry to allow automatic selection of gain ranges when it is used with a multi gain pre-amplifier. This paper describes the design architecture of the A/D...
