Triggering and data acquisition systems for the Auger Observatory

摘要

The Auger Observatory presents novel challenges for triggering and data acquisition. The large area (3000 km/sup 2/ for each of 2 sites) and large number of sensors (1600 per site) make the use of traditional wired connections impractical. In this paper I describe trigger and data acquisition systems incorporating radio links which have been designed for the Auger Observatory.
