This required an extension to the modular readout subsystem: in particular, a new I/O device library was implemented, interfacing with the detector electronics; a firmware block was provided by the DAQ team to the electronics experts for the implementation of the data formatting and transmission; and the trigger primitive generation (TPG) software in the readout system was adapted to the modified data format. The I/O device library for controlling, configuring, and operating the network interface controllers (NICs) is built upon the data plane development kit (DPDK), supporting routing capabilities based on configurable rules. This feature allows the readout to split the data arriving on each 100-Gb/s link into individual data streams (each with a throughput of ~2 Gb/s), which are passed down to their corresponding processing pipelines for TPG and buffering. Extensive monitoring capabilities are also provided by the library, which monitors errors related to data consistency and integrity, and also aids the performance optimization work of the software stack. In this contribution, we describe the new high-throughput Ethernet-based readout integrated into the DUNE DAQ system, and the first performance results obtained at the ProtoDUNE hardware apparatus at the Neutrino Platform at CERN.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 3","pages":"317-324"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10735136","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HERD is expected to operate for ten years in orbit, and it will be able to indirectly detect dark matter, measure cosmic rays, and observe high-energy gamma rays. As a subdetector of the HERD, a transition radiation detector (TRD) has the main scientific goal of calibrating the electromagnetic calorimeter (CALO) at the TeV energy range, improving the measurement accuracy of the CALO, and detecting astronomical phenomena of high-energy gamma rays. In this work, we designed the front-end electronics (FEEs) as a standard readout unit for the TRD prototype in the HERD. The FEE uses four SAMPA application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for 128 detector signal readouts, realizing a high-speed, low-power, and high-reliability data acquisition system. The FEE receives trigger signals and serial commands from the back-end electronics (BEEs) using the universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) protocol via an RS-422 bus and replies to the BEE, providing appropriate remote environmental and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) status parameters. In addition, the FEE sends detector scientific data and clock signals via a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) bus at 80 Mb/s with a dual-channel hot backup. According to the results of the electrical tests on the electronics, the channel’s root mean square (rms) noise is less than 1.7 fC, and the linearity is better than 0.2%. In addition, a beam test is performed on the super proton synchrotron (SPS) and proton synchrotron (PS) terminals of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to verify the electronic performance of the proposed system. The results show that the proposed FEE can meet the readout requirements of the TRD prototype and can accurately obtain the energy spectrum of muons and electrons.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 3","pages":"653-660"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This modification, along with the pre-chopper, allows the cyclotron to achieve single-bunch extraction. The novel procedure involves adjusting the pre-chopper to control the number of ion bunches injected into the cyclotron, thus managing ion energy deposition. These bunches are then accelerated until they reach the electrostatic deflectors, which control their extraction. After the deflectors are adjusted to transport the beam, the first deflector voltage is decreased until no beam current is extracted. Finally, through switching and selective phase adjustment of the first deflector to match the transit time of a bunch, the cyclotron is capable of extracting a single bunch. This capability is crucial for time-sensitive experiments and allows control over dose distribution in previously inaccessible regimes. The straightforward and cost-efficient implementation of this technique makes it an attractive option for many cyclotron facilities and medical cyclotron manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"71 12","pages":"2487-2492"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
