Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector front-end electronics

Front-End Electronics for a TPC-Detector

The CERES/NA45-Collaboration upgrades the existing lepton-pair spectrometer at the CERN SPS with a TPC detector which improves the momentum resolution. We present the development of new front-end electronics to read out the nearly 20000 channels of the chamber. It is comprised of two circuits: (i) A continuously sensitive preamplifier with semi-Gaussian shaper and tailcancellation, which offers...

LHC-B Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector

Front-end electronics for imaging detectors

Front-end electronics for imaging detectors with large numbers of pixels (10–10) is reviewed. The noise limits as a function of detector capacitance and power dissipation are presented for CMOS technology. Active matrix flat panel imagers (AMFPIs) are discussed and their potential noise performance is illustrated. r 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All

The Front-End electronics for the LHCb scintillating fibres detector

The LHCb detector will be upgraded during the next LHC shutdown in 2018/19 [1]. The tracker system will have a major overhaul. Its components will be replaced with new technologies in order to cope with the increased hit occupancy and radiation environment. A detector made of scintillating fibres read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) is studied for this upgrade. Even if this technology ha...

The current progress of the ALICE Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector

Recently, the last two modules (out of seven) of the ALICE High Momentum Particle Identification detector (HMPID) were assembled and tested. The full detector, after a precommissioning phase, has been installed in the experimental area, inside the ALICE solenoid, at the end of September 2006. In this paper we review the status of the ALICE/HMPID project and we present a summary of the series pr...
