Data acquisition system for muon tracking in a muon scattering tomography setup (2305.17395v1)
Published 27 May 2023 in physics.ins-det and hep-ex
Abstract: We report here the development of a multi-channel DAQ system for muon tracking in a muon scattering tomography setup. The salient features of the proposed DAQ system are direct acquisition and processing of LVDS signals, 500 MHz sampling frequency and scalability. It consists of front-end electronics stage built around NINO ASIC. The back-end electronics is configured with Intel/Altera MAX-10 FPGA development board which transmits data to the storage following UART protocol. The proposed DAQ system has been tested for its performance using a position sensitive glass RPC detector with two-dimensional 8X8 readout strip configuration.
