This presentation will outline the latest developments and findings with VMM3a. It reports on several activities carried out within the RD51 collaboration using the general Scalable Readout System. After the ASIC has been integrated within the last years, the first commercial production of joint orders by many teams was just completed. In several projects, the system was improved, a QA system...
ARCADIA is an INFN R&D Platform for the design, fabrication and system integration of fully-depleted CMOS monolithic sensors and associated electronics, firmware and software.
The Collaboration developed a novel sensor technology allowing for:
- Active sensor thickness in the range 50 μm to 500 μm or more;
- Operation in full depletion with fast charge collection only by drift;
- Small...
An overview about the general status of the DAQ installation for 2021 and beyond.
We will present modern GPU architectures and their advantages compared to CPUs. We will also discuss modern trends in GPU programming which should make this very powerful architecture easily available even to scientists who do not have deep knowledge about the design of GPUs.
The currently-commissioned LHCb data acquisition system for Run3 will collect data in runtime at 32 Tbit/s. The new version of the customized cluster will implement a fully software-defined selection of uncompressed FPGA streams. The principle of LHCb's operation enforces all-to-all lossless communication to assemble scattered data for further real-time selection. The cost-optimized...
Multi-GEM detectors are widely used for the tracking of charged particles with good spatial resolution at high luminosity, while using only a very low material budget. For the COMPASS experiment at CERN, the third generation of these detectors is currently being constructed, while and the fourth generation is under development.
This talk presents the most recent improvements on the readout...
As 2018 data taking used a much higher beam intensity than before, current data analysis of CEDAR detectors output is not applicable. A new method for beam particle identification shall be developed using artificial neural networks
Meeting functional requirements does not ensure a good user experience and ease of operating a software product. Therefore, every developer should try to build a user-friendly application. The presentation covers the topic of how to make a configuration tool for COMPASS DAQ intuitive and self-descriptive, even for non-experienced users.
A short Introduction into the FriDAQ Software Framework - what do we have - what do we need
