Description
In the field of accelerator-based nuclear physics, significant progress has been made in increasing beam intensities. Consequently, acquisition systems must keep pace with the rising rate of events and the number of channels of increasingly complex experimental setups. Time projection chambers usually feature thousands of channels and in exotic nuclei facilities are often used in an active target configuration to allow inverse kinematic reactions on thicker targets. Beyond the high number of channels, such a configuration adds to the DAQ complexity the problem of distinguishing between the beam-induced background and the recoil signal.
Following the obsolescence of the de-facto standard General Electronics for TPCs (GET), the SPADI Alliance started the development of a new acquisition board for TPC signals: the SAMIDARE Board. Although designed for potential future streaming readout purposes, the current first application aims to reduce data throughput via on-device FPGA filtering. In this contribution, an overview of the device and the prototype firmware will be presented.
