摘要

The detectors that the RCE reads out are so fast they can transmit snapshots at roughly 100 femtoseconds (a femtosecond is one quadrillionth of a second). The RCE circuit board modules are currently used to store detector data collected during proton collisions travelling near the speed of light in the two-mile linear accelerator at the University of Stanford. The technology is also being considered for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) Array in Chile, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN research centre of the Swiss/French border, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) in Chile which will study Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Prior to boundary-scan testing, O'Grady was limited to probing circuit board test points with an oscilloscope resulting in an average debug time of two days for each problematic board.
