    After the current LHC shutdown (2019-2021), the ATLAS experiment will be required to operate in an increasingly harsh collision environment. To maintain physics performance, the ATLAS experiment will undergo a series of upgrades during the shutdown. A key goal of this upgrade is to improve the capacity and flexibility of the detector readout system. To this end, the Front-End Link eXchange...

    The time characteristics of fast Multi-pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) are important features that affect its application. The fast timing detector is widely used for picosecond (ps) level time detection, some fast MPPCs with about 100ps@SPE. The time characteristics of fast MPPC refer to the rise time (RT), fall time (FT) and electron transition time (TT)of the output signal. Fast MPPC has an...

    The data acquisition system of the Belle II is designed for a sustained first-level trigger rate of up to 30 kHz at the design luminosity of the SuperKEKB collider. The raw data read out from the subdetector frontends is delivered in realtime into an online High Level Trigger (HLT) farm, consisting of up to 20 computing nodes housing around 5000 processing cores, where it is reconstructed by...

    Due to the lack of results by ‘traditional’ Dark Matter (DM) searches, in the last years, the experimental activity extended to search for DM hints at different mass scales, through new experiments performed at accelerators. The Beam Dump eXperiment at Jefferson Laboratory aims to reveal dark matter particles produced in the interaction of an intense electron beam with the beam dump. An...

    In high energy physics experiments, frontend digitization modules are usually driven by a common clock. At the frontend electronics and digitization modules of the detector, a precise timing reference must establish in order to make a useful timing measurement. It would be very useful for the frontend digitization system to include a feature of redundant timing crosschecking. The inspiration...

    A precise and stable timing system is necessary for high
    intensity proton accelerators such as the J-PARC. The existing timing
    system, which was developed during the construction period of the
    J-PARC, has been working without major issues since 2006. After a
    decade of operation, the optical modules, which are key components for
    signal transfer, were discontinued already. Thus, the...

    The reconstruction and identification of tau leptons decaying into hadrons are crucial for physics studies with tau leptons in the final state at the LHC. The recently deployed tau identification algorithm using deep neural networks at the CMS experiment for the discrimination of taus from light flavour quark or gluon induced jets, electrons, or muons is an ideal example for the exploitation...

    Recently, the Streaming Readout paradigm has gained traction as a viable alternative to classic triggered readout architectures for future experiments, for example at the planned Electron-Ion Collider. The sPHENIX apparatus at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a significant upgrade of the former PHENIX detector, cannot yet implement a full streaming readout, although the (by data volume)...

    In current PET scanners, coincidence finding is often performed inside FPGAs because of their high parallelization capacities. Nowadays, the trend in PET is to multiply the number of individual detection channels, and thus the FPGAs dedicated to the coincidence engine need to be increasingly powerful. However, FPGAs have a limited number of I/O ports, and their cost becomes prohibitive for the...

    The Time of Propagation (TOP) subdetector at the Belle II experiment requires a single photon timing resolution of below 100 picoseconds to identify the type of charged hadrons produced in $e^+e^-$ collisions at SuperKEKB collider. Due to data bandwidth constraints only the amplitude and the timing information calculated from the digitized photon pulses are transmitted to the Belle II DAQ...

    Proton therapy achieves a precise cancer treatment due to a localized dose deposition. However there are several sources of range uncertainties that pose a risk to the vital organs in the vicinity of the Bragg peak, thus limiting the scope of the proton therapy. Range verification through secondary particle detection can help us overcome this problem. Our group has developed a scaleable flat...
