A3: Trigger / DAQ R&D
- Shimaa AbuZeid (INFN - Pavia (IT) and Ain Shams University (EG))
Several physics experiments are moving (or are evaluating the possibility to move) towards new acquisition models. The tendency is to leave the hardware trigger system in favour of a complete or partial acquisition of the front-end data paired with a powerful online software event discrimination. Hardware trigger systems usually have to deal with a tight latency budget due to the narrow...
The Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO or JUNO-TAO) will be deployed next to a core of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant to measure the reactor neutrino spectrum precisely as a reference spectrum for JUNO. TAO also aims to measure the fine structures for the first time and to test the nuclear database used in the summation calculation of the spectrum. The ultra-high energy resolution of TAO...
The High Energy Particle Detector (HEPD-02) onboard the second China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES)-02 is designed to measure cosmic rays, i.e., electrons and protons, along with light nuclei, in the energy range between a few MeV and a few hundreds of MeV. This high-precision instrument is composed by different subdetectors: a tracking system, a trigger system, a calorimeter made by...
The data acquisition system (DAQ) is consisting of 95232 registration channels in total containing 1488 Front-End Cards (FEC) grouped into 24 groups of 62 pcs. in each. Each FEC has an individual full-duplex few-gigabit communication channel with Readout and Control Unit (RCU). Each RCU manages each FEC within the group of size of 1/24 of full TPC, collects data with subsequent transmission...
The SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) South experiment, located at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) in Australia, aims to measure an annual modulation in dark-matter interactions using ultra-high-purity NaI(Tl) crystals. In partnership with the SABRE North effort at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), SABRE South is designed to disentangle any...
The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a 4th generation synchrotron radiation light source of ultrahigh brightness that is currently under construction in China. HEPS-BPIX 6M is a dedicated silicon pixel detector under development that will be used in HEPS. The detector hosts about 6 million pixels which will be assembled with 40 modules, covering a large effective detection area of about...
The fixed-target experiment “Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron” (BM@N) is aimed to study characteristics of hot and dense nuclear matter produced in nucleus – nucleus collisions at beam energies of 2 – 4 A GeV. The developed trigger system is an important part of the experiment and allows fast and effective selection of nucleus – nucleus interactions in a target. It includes several subsystems...
