Description

In order to detect and properly identify particles in High Energy Physics experiments you need to combine results from a combination sub-detectors. There is usually a large number of particles to handle at the same time and many events to study.
I will talk about different types of sub-detectors, how they are combined, different architectures and how this affects the construction of the Data Acquisition Systems. I will start with the basics and then discuss how this is implemented in an actual detector system – the ATLAS detector at CERN.
