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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The CMS detector will undergo a major upgrade for Phase-2 of the LHC program: the HiLumi LHC, starting around 2026. The Phase-2 CMS back-end electronics will be based on the ATCA standard, with node boards receiving the detector data from the front-ends for processing via custom, radiation-tolerant, optical links. An ATCA hub board, the DAQ and Timing Hub (DTH), will provide the interface...
The High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC) is foreseen to increase the instantaneous luminosity by a factor of five over the present LHC nominal value. The resulting, unprecedented requirements for background monitoring and luminosity measurement create the need for new high-precision instrumentation at CMS, using radiation hard detector technologies. This contribution presents a system...
The new LHCb Vertex Locator for LHCb, comprising a new pixel detector and readout electronics will be installed in 2020 for data-taking in Run 3 at the LHC. The electronics centre around the "VeloPix" ASIC at the front-end operating in a triggerless readout at 40$\,$MHz. Custom serialisers send zero-suppressed data from the VeloPix at a line rate of 5.13$\,$Gb/s. Signal integrity tests of...
