Data Acquisition / Trigger

Please note that we have 4 places for this workshop. Interested students who could not sign up, could check the registration regularly in case of cancellations. 

The LHCb data acquisition will be explained on a thorough guided tour. Then we will use a test-setup to demonstrate and (compete to) solve some common problems in networked data acquisition systems as they are used by the LHC experiments. We will have fun with switches, network analyzers and data-flow control.

Requirements:

• You must wear hard shoes that completely cover your feet: no sandals, no flip-flops, no high-heels.
• Bring your CERN badge, ID-card (during the workshop you will go to Point8 in France).
• You must bring a dosimeter.
• You must request 'LHCB_U' access in EDH one week before the workshop https://edh.cern.ch/Document/ACRQ​
• And complete an online safety course http://sir.cern.ch (LHC Level 4b) - for "Supervised Radiation Area"

Please make sure that when you pick up the dosimeter you also ask for the biometry recorded on it, in case it is not done automatically (biometry means that they record a scan of your iris)
