Abstract

The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) experiment aims to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic neutrinos (>10 PeV) using radio detection techniques. To enhance ARA's capabilities, a new RFSoC-based DAQ, ARA-Next, is in the early stages of development. This advanced system will facilitate the creation of sophisticated triggers, including a novel multi-trigger approach, similar to those used in collider experiments. Our approach involves crafting and implementing innovative triggers for ARA's new DAQ, such as identifying double pulses from potential in-ice neutrino interactions, utilizing templates for atmospheric cosmic ray signals, optimizing triggers for astrophysical neutrino sources, correlating special events between ARA and IceCube, and discerning anthropogenic events using directional information. These trigger designs aim to lower thresholds and enhance ARA's detector sensitivity. Overall, this upgrade will not only enhance ARA's capabilities but also contribute to the technological advancements necessary for future experiments of this nature.

ARA-Next：用于阿斯卡良射电阵列的新型数据采集和触发架构

阿斯卡良射电阵列（ARA）实验旨在利用射电探测技术探测超高能中微子（>10 PeV）。为了增强 ARA 的能力，一种基于 RFSoC 的新型 DAQ ARA-Next 正在早期开发阶段。这个先进的系统将有助于创建复杂的触发器，包括一种新颖的多触发方法，类似于在对撞机实验中使用的方法。我们的方法包括为 ARA 的新 DAQ 设计和实施创新触发器，例如识别来自潜在冰内中微子相互作用的双脉冲、利用大气宇宙射线信号模板、优化天体物理中微子源触发器、关联 ARA 和冰立方之间的特殊事件，以及利用方向信息辨别人类活动事件。这些触发器设计旨在降低阈值并提高 ARA 探测器的灵敏度。总之，这次升级不仅将增强 ARA 的能力，而且还将促进未来此类实验所需的技术进步。
