Method of Syndrome Coding and Its Application for Data Compression and Processing in High Energy Physics Experiments.

摘要

The questions of using the theory and practice of correcting codes for data compression and processing in multichannel detectors (hodoscopic systems) of nuclear particles are described. A system of analogies between the theories of correcting codes and hodoscopic systems is considered. The following problems are supposed to be solved by syndrome coding: the use of syndrome coding for decreasing the number of registration channels in case of a limited multiplicity of registered events; the introduction of abundance into known codes, for example into the Gray code, with the aim of increasing the space resolution of a hodoscope. the main result of approach is the development of radically new electronic logic units, i.e. parallel encoders for t events (t>1) and special-purpose processors with algebraic structure (in the Galois field GF(2/sup m/) for fast event selection in nuclear physics experiments. 18 refs.; 10 figs.; 1 tab.
