The Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger is a digital pipelined system, reducing the 40 MHz
bunch-crossing rate down to 75 kHz. It consists of a Preprocessor , a Cluster
Processor (CP), and a Jet/Energy-sum Processor (JEP). The CP and JEP receive
digitised trigger-tower data from the Preprocessor and produce electron/photon, tau,
and jet trigger multiplicities, total and missing transverse...

The innermost part of the ATLAS experiment will be a
pixel detector, built around
1750 individual detector modules. To operate the
modules, readout electronics and
other detector components, a complex power supply
and control system is necessary.
The unique power, grounding and control requirements
are described, along with the
custom made components of our power and control...

The hadronic Tile Calorimeter of ATLAS generates
~10000 digitized pulses of 10-bit
samples spaced in time 25 ns. In order to read-out and
process these data the Read
Out Driver boards (RODs) are equipped with real time
fixed-point Digital Signal
Processors. The processed information is sent to the
second level trigger.
This paper explains the performance of an algorithm to...

The work described here has been developed in the
context of the NEMO Collaboration with the aim of
studying and designing a front-end electronics for the
Optical Modules, which contain the telescope optical
sensors, as a full-custom Very Large Scale Integration
ASIC. The solution has a multitude of advantages.
The most important are low power consumption and
the preanalysis and...

Time of flight detectors are used for both particle
identification and triggering. RPC detectors are
becoming widely used because their excellent TOF
capabilities and reduced cost. The new ESTRELA
Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detector, which is
currently being installed in the HADES detector at
Darmstadt GSI, will contain 1000 RPC modules, covering
a total active area of 8 m2....

A portable readout system for silicon microstrip sensors
is currently being
developed. This system uses a front-end readout chip,
which was developed for the
LHC experiments. The system will be used to
investigate the main properties of this
type of sensors and their future applications.
The system is divided in two parts: a daughter board
and a mother board. The first
one...
