Digital electronics upgrade of the INDRA 4π charged particle detection array and resulting performance improvements
INDRA is a charged particle detection array in use since 1993 for the study of nuclear collisions at bombarding energies from a few 10s to a few 100s of MeV/nucleon. Originally equipped with custom electronics using the VXI standard, the entire acquisition system was recently upgraded to a fully digital system using commercially-available modules supplied by mesytec GmbH & Co. KG. At the same time, both low and high voltage supplies and all cabling and signal routing outside of the reaction chamber have also been replaced. The new electronics were used for the first time in 2022 in an experiment at GANIL coupling INDRA with 12 blocks of FAZIA telescopes placed at forward angles. The full details of the upgraded system, and the resulting improvements in performance, stability, dead time and identification capabilities are presented in this article.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
