Coherent synchrotron radiation requires DAQ systems with picosecond resolution. The Karlsruhe Pulse Taking Ultra-fast Readout Electronics (KAPTURE) is a novel system for a continuous investigation of THz synchrotron radiation. It is capable to sample single THz pulses with sampling times down to 3 ps. To improve performance and flexibility a second version of KAPTURE has been developed. The...
The high-luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider will provide 5-7 times greater luminosities than assumed in the original detector design. An improved trigger system requires an upgrade of the readout electronics of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter. Concepts for the future readout of the 182,500 calorimeter channels at 40-80 MHz and 16bit dynamic range, and the development of...
In this presentation the read-out scheme will be introduced. Laboratory measurements have been done to characterize and optimize the analog electronic scheme and the FPGA VHDL code. The adaption process to different detector pulse shapes will be also shown. The results obtained at beam tests at the MAMI accelerator in Mainz and the SPS at CERN will be presented.
The CMS experiment at the LHC will deploy the first large (16k channel)
silicon photomultiplier system in a high radiation environment as the central
feature of its hadron calorimeter upgrade.
The exceptional 35% photon detection efficiency of the SiPMs is critical
for ameliorating the effects of radiation damage of the calorimeter scintillator.
The SiPM signals are digitized by the QIE11...
The data acquisition system (DAQ) for a highly granular analogue hadron calorimeter (AHCAL) for the future International Linear Collider (ILC) will be presented. The developed DAQ chain has several stages of aggregation and scales up to 8 million channels foreseen for the AHCAL detector design. The largest aggregation device, LDA (Link data aggregator), has 96 HDMI connectors, four Kintex7...
The SoLid collaboration have developed an intelligent read-out system to reduce their 3000 silicon photomultiplier detector's data rate by a factor of 10000 whilst maintaining high efficiency for storing data from antineutrino interactions.
The system employs an FPGA level waveform characterisation to trigger on neutron signals.
Following a trigger, data from a spacetime region of interest...
The on-detector electronics of the LHCb Scintillating Fiber Detector consists of multiple PCBs assembled in a unit called Read Out Box, capable of reading out 2048 channels with an output rate of 70 Gbps. There are three types of boards: PACIFIC, Clusterization and Master Board. The PACIFIC boards host PACIFIC ASICs, with pre-amplifier and comparator stages producing two bits of data per...
We will present the electronic and DAQ system being developed for TripleGEM detectors which will be installed in the CMS muon spectrometer. The microTCA system uses an Advanced Mezzanine Card equipped with an FPGA and the Versatile Link with the GBT chipset to link the front and back-end. On the detector an FPGA mezzanine board, the OptoHybrid, has to collect the data from the detector readout...
The LHCb Experiment will be upgraded to a trigger-less system reading out the full detector at 40 MHz event rate with all selection algorithms executed in a CPU farm. The upgraded Vertex Locator (VELO) will be a hybrid pixel detector read out by the VeloPix ASIC with on-chip zero-suppression. This paper will present the systems overview and design of the VELO on-detector electronics, including...
The CBM experiment at FAIR will use GBTX and Versatile link based readout systems for several subdetectors.
Particularly challenging is the readout of the silicon tracking system (STS) which requires features like a minimal number of frontend connections, AC coupling and time deterministic messages.
The paper gives a detailed description of the readout concept for the STS, emphasizing...
The ATLAS Phase-I upgrade requires a Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system able to trigger and record data from up to three times the nominal LHC instantaneous luminosity. The FELIX system provides this in a scalable, detector agnostic and easily upgradeable way. It is a PC-based gateway, routing between custom radiation tolerant optical links from front-end electronics, via FPGA PCIe...
The ATLAS Level-1 Trigger system performs event selection using data from calorimeters and the muon spectrometer to reduce the LHC collision event rate down to about 100 kHz. Trigger decisions from the different systems are combined in the Central Trigger Processor for the final Level-1 decision. A new FPGAs-based AdvancedTCA sub-system was introduced to calculate in real time complex...
