10. Overview of LHCb electronics installation aspects

Vincent Bobillier (CERN)

26/09/2006, 10:55

Oral

The infrastructure for the electronics, such as cabling, mains power distribution, low and high voltage power supplies, detector safety system, grounding and its installation in the LHCb experimental cavern will be presented. In particular, choices and compromises that have been made for power distribution, racks, cables and cable ducts installation, grounding (EMC) and optical fiber link...

6. Testing, time alignment, calibration and monitoring features in the LHCb front-end electronics

Jorgen Christiansen (CERN)

26/09/2006, 11:20

Oral

An overview of testing, time alignment, calibration and monitoring features in the front-end electronics of LHCb is given. General features for this are defined and examples are given of how this has been implemented in sub-detector specific front- end electronics.

0. The readout system for the LHCb Outer Tracker

Dirk Wiedner (Physikalisches Institut Uni Heidelberg)

26/09/2006, 11:45

Oral

The LHCb Outer Tracker is composed of 55000 straw drift tubes. The requirements for the OT electronics is the precise (1ns) drift time measurement at 6% occupancy and 1MHz readout. Charge signals form the straw detector are amplified, shaped and discriminated by ATLAS ASDBLR chips. Drift-times are determined and stored in the OTIS TDC and output to a GOL serializer at L0...

63. The Front End Electronics of the Scintillator Pad Detector of LHCb Calorimeter

David Gascon (D. ECM, Universitat de Barcelona)

26/09/2006, 12:10

Oral

In this paper the Front End electronics of the Scintillator Pad Detector (SPD) is outlined. The SPD is a sub-system of the Calorimeter of the LHCb experiment designed to discriminate between charged particles and neutrals for the first level trigger. The complete system design is presented, describing its different functionalities implemented through three different cards and two ASICs....

77. Front-end Electronics Test for the LHCb Muon Wire Chambers

Rafael Antunes Nobrega (INFN - Sez. Roma)

26/09/2006, 12:35

Oral

The document to be presented will describe the electronic scheme and procedures of a system implemented to test the Multi-Wired Proportional Chambers after front-end dressing for the LHCb Muon Detector and its results. Given a dressed chamber, this system is able to diagnose every channel based on front-end output drivers’ response and noise rate versus threshold analysis, in...
