The PANDA (AntiProton Annihilation at Darmstadt) detector system is under development for the future accelerator facility FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany. In the target spectrometer of PANDA a micro-vertex detector (MVD) will be used as the central tracking detector for charged particles. The design of the MVD is based on silicon strip detectors at the outer layer and on silicon pixel detectors at the...
<?Pub Dtl?>This paper presents the design and performance of a readout system for gaseous and silicon detectors built for the Minos nuclear physics experiment. A major constraint was to provide a multi-thousand channel, high performance readout system with low manpower effort and tight cost. This was achieved by the re-use of some earlier ASIC and front-end card (FEC) developments, the design...
This paper presents the design and performance of a new readout system for gaseous and silicon detectors built for the Minos nuclear physics experiment.

In this paper, a silicon matrix detector is described and the results of the cosmic ray test are given. The silicon matrix is composed by the 180 silicon PIN detectors, which covers an area of 32 * 20cm2. The data of whole detectors is read out by the ASIC chips, and suppressed by an FPGA. In the test system, the trigger is given by two plastic scintillators, which are placed above and beneath the...
A telescope for a beam test have been developed. The system is intended to measure the spatial resolution performance of different types of silicon detectors. The telescope has four XY measurement as well as trigger planes (XYT board). It can accommodate up to twelve devices under test (DUT board). The DUT board uses two Beetle ASICs for the readout of chilled DUT, microstrip or pixel silicon detectors...

The paper presents a multichannel digital processor based on a configurable computing (FPGA) device for acquisition and programmable data processing in multi-detector systems. Main features of the processor are reconfigurability, linearity, low noise and processing data rate through hardware and firmware architecture solutions that also allow the system to operate in presence of electromagnetic noise,...
The COMPASS experiment (COmpact Muon Proton Apparatus for Structure and Spectroscopy) is a fixed target experiment located at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The physics program is focused on the study of hadron structure and hadron spectroscopy with high intensity muon and hadron beams, up to 160 GeV/c for muons and 190 GeV/c for hadrons respectively. To allow the tracking of charged particles...
