The Performance of the FADC System for the ZEUS Central Tracking Detector
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science 41:4 (1994) 1250-1254
Abstract:
The Central Tracking Detector (CTD) of the ZEUS experiment uses a Flash Analogue to Digital Converter (FADC) readout system to measure the arrival time of ionisation at sense wires as well as the charge deposited. A digitisation frequency of 104 MHz is used and the data is written to pipelined data stores. A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is used to control the main functions on the card as well as perform data parameterisation and compression. Test and operational performance results from the first electron-proton interactions are presented. © 1994 IEEETiming and control system of the Zeus tracking detector data acquisition electronics

Abstract:
The Tracking Detector time resolution of 2ns and the 96ns periodic interaction of protons and electrons of the HERA collider require real time data acquisition at 104MHz controlled reliably to tight tolerances. Maximum event readout efficiency, fast monitoring of run time errors and testability of front end electronics require pipelining, speed and flexibility. Such an electronic Timing and control system (TCS) is operational within three main inner detectors of the ZEUS detector and is presented in this paper.NO LESS SUPER - THE NEXT STEP FOR EUROPE PARTICLE PHYSICS
