CDU-Based Data Acquisition System for the Energy Spectrometer at the Stanford Linear Collider

摘要

We describe a system using the Calorimetry Data Unit (a 32-channel multisample analog integrated circuit) to read out the charge ejected by secondary emission of a synchrotron beam from wires lying in its path. The wires comprise the Wire-Imaging Synchrotron Radiation Detector (WISRD) in the SLC Extraction-Line Spectrometer. The primary module in the system is a board containing 24 channels of charge sensitive amplification, shaping, sampling, multiplexing and digitization. This board also provides a fast analog measure of the charge distribution across the wires. We discuss the design and performance of this system. 4 refs., 5 figs. (ERA citation 14:004984)
