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...
We designed and built a 16-channel NIM module acting as preliminary analog processing of the signals to be converted by sampling ADCs for the CHIMERA 4π multidetector digital pulse shape acquisition system. The main functions of the module are: i) a second order anti-aliasing filter with two programmable cutting frequencies, ii) a programmablegain amplifier to cope with the full dynamic range of the...
PHENIX is one of two large experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The summer shutdown of 2010 marked the begin of the installation of the PHENIX upgrade detectors, the first of which being commissioned for the upcoming Run 11. In order to accommodate the new detectors in the PHENIX data acquisition, we will start to implement significant changes to...
PHENIX is one of two large experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). At the time of this conference, the Run 10 of RHIC is in progress and has generated about a PetaByte of raw data. The following summer shutdown marks the begin of the installation of the PHENIX upgrade detectors, the first of which will be commissioned for the upcoming Run 11. In order...
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 silicon strip tracker of the CMS experiment at LHC is the largest silicon tracker ever built for high energy physics experiments. With nearly 9.6 millions of analog read-out channels it poses significant challenges for the reconstruction, calibration and monitoring of the collected data. Beside the event-by-event data, recorded from the detector, the reconstruction is based on a set of non-event...
ATLAS is one of the two general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Using fast reconstruction algorithms, its trigger system needs to efficiently reject a huge rate of background events and still select potentially interesting ones with good efficiency. After a fist processing level using custom electronics, the trigger selection is made by software running on two processor farms,...
The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva (Switzerland) is designed to perform precision measurements of b quark decays. The Silicon Tracker (ST) plays a crucial role in reconstructing particle trajectories and consists of two silicon micro-strip detectors, the Tracker Turicensis upstream of the LHCb magnet and the Inner Tracker downstream. The radiation environment...
