Description
The need for continuous measurement without triggering events, known as streaming data acquisition, is crucial for many experiments nuclear, particle, and cosmic ray physics. In Japan, the SPADI alliance provides complete streaming readout systems from front-end hardware to the data acquisition software, and is designed to be easily deployable and scalable. While several candidates for front-end hardware exists in the SPADI alliance, the current system to readout from gaseous detectors is split into two parts; the AGASA based analog front-end board, and the AMANEQ TDC (digital front-end) module. However, this system could be improved in several aspects such as its size, cooling, cost, cabling, and many more. Hence, we designed a new all-in-one board, named STAG (streaming readout with AGASA for gaseous detectors), which combines the analog front-end and digital front-end to one module. This greatly reduced the size of the front-ends, but also satisfies the other constraints faced by the current system. Further, to satisfy the streaming readout capabilities, this board is designed to handle data rates up to a few Mcps, and a TDC resolution of 200~300 ps. This talk will present about the development, evaluation and the future plan of the STAG board, and the related streaming readout system.
