Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

We report on the design and performance of the Digitizer ReAdout Controller (DIRAC) of the Mu2e electromagnetic calorimeter, which consists of a 670 CsI crystals matrix readout by SiPM. The 20-channels DIRAC performs 200 MHz sampling of the SiPM signals transmitted by the front-end electronics. Operation in the Mu2e hostile environment expected Total Ionizing Dose (TID) of 12 Krad and neutron...

32. Electronics system of the CMS GE1/1 Muon upgrade and performance of the Slice Test during the 2017-18 LHC Run

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

In this contribution, we present the status of the electronics system of the triple-GEM detectors for the CMS GE1/1 upgrade which is being installed in 2019-2020, as well as the performance of ten prototypes which have been operated in CMS during 2017-18. 
For this new CMS muon sub-detector, a new front-end chip, the VFAT3, has been designed. The VFAT3 communicates with the back-end microTCA...

105. A Muon Telescope as Demonstrator of the JUNO Top Tracker Detector

Andrea Triossi (Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert CURIEN (CNRS))

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

A four-layer muon telescope has been built employing the equipment and electronics developed for the Top Tracker (TT) detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). It will serve as a demonstrator of the hardware capabilities in terms of detection efficiency, processing power and system reliability. The entire read out, trigger and acquisition systems have been conceived and...

26. Module and System Test Development for the Phase-2 ATLAS ITk Pixel Upgrade

Lingxin Meng (CERN)

03/09/2019, 16:30

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

The ATLAS Inner Detector will be replaced by an all-silicon system, the
Inner Tracker (ITk) and its innermost part will consist of a pixel detector.
Different silicon sensor
technologies will be employed in its five barrel and endcap layers. Components for structures with multiple modules based
on FE-I4 front-end chips were produced and are in assembly and evaluation.With the arrival of...

117. The APOLLO ATCA Platform

Eric Shearer Hazen (Boston University (US)), Robert Glein (University of Colorado Boulder (US))

03/09/2019, 16:55

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

We have developed a novel open-source Advanced Telecommunications
Computing Architecture (ATCA) platform - APOLLO - which simplifies the
design of custom ATCA blades by factoring the design into generic
infrastructure and application-specific parts. The APOLLO "Service
Module" provides the required ATCA Intelligent Platform Management
Controller (IPMC), power entry and conditioning, a...

29. The OBDT board: A prototype for the Phase 2 Drift Tubes on detector electronics

Javier Sastre Alvaro (Centro de Investigaciones Energéti cas Medioambientales y Tecno)

04/09/2019, 09:00

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

We present here the design and performance of the OBDT board, which is the new prototype built to substitute the CMS DT muon on-detector electronics. The OBDT is responsible of the time digitization of the DT signals, allowing further tracking and triggering of the barrel muons. It is also in charge of the slow control tasks of the DT chamber systems. A prototype of this board has been...

49. First lpGBT-based prototype of the End-of-Substructure (EoS) card for the ATLAS Strip Tracker Upgrade

Chaowaroj Wanotayaroj (DESY)

04/09/2019, 09:25

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

The central building blocks of the ATLAS Strip Tracker Upgrade are the staves and petals which host up to 14 modules per side. The incoming data is sent to the EoS and multiplexed by the lpGBT chips on 10 Gbit/s links and sent via optical transmitters (VL+) off-detector. The EoS is a critical component for the upgrade, sitting at a single-point-of failure location. Prototype boards have been...

83. Integration, Commissioning and First Experience of ALICE ITS Control and Readout Electronics

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

For the third running period of the CERN LHC, the ALICE experiment will
undertake several upgrades of its sub-detectors. One of the detectors to be
upgraded is the Inner Tracking System, featuring the new ALPIDE pixel chip.
Control and readout of the 24120 chips are handled by 192 custom FPGA-
based readout units. Each readout unit can forward 9.6Gbps of data to another
custom PCIe card that...

54. The upgraded readout electronics of the CMS ECAL: system overview

Systems, Planning, Installation, Commissioning and Running Experience

Oral

The readout electronics of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) barrel will be upgraded to meet the Level-1 trigger requirements at HL-LHC. The new very front-end (VFE) electronics will mitigate the increasing noise from the avalanche photodiodes (APDs), discriminate against anomalous APD signals, and provide the extra bandwidth needed to maintain the integrity of the detector signal...
