Wire Arrays Vs Vidicons: a Comparison of Large Wire Arrays with Optical Spark Chambers Using Vidicon Readout

Digitized spark-chamber systems using wire arrays are being used for increas­ ingly complex types of events; their chief virtue is the provision of "on-line II informa­ tion on the progre ss of the experiment, which we inte rpret as rapid enough to aIIow the results obtained to influence the future course of the experiment. Such on-line operation can also be obtained by several other methods fo...

Tesla Test Facility Stripline Readout System

The elaboration of the signals provided by the fourstripline Beam Position Monitors (BPM) on the superconducting linac TTF will be accomplished by parallel rf circuits, giving a signal of ~1 V /cm, indipendent of beam current, for both horizontal and vertical beam positions with time response ~1μs. and useful range > ±1 cm The performances with respect to thermal drifts and input dynamics are p...

Readout Electronics of the Na62 Gigatracker System

A crucial detector of the NA62 experiment is the beam spectrometer named Gigatracker. It consists of three stations of hybrid silicon pixels sensors with 150 ps (rms) of time resolution and 100 μm (rms) of space resolution. In addition the system operates under a high radiation environment and a high density of particles (up to 1.5 MHz/mm in the centre and 0.8 1 GHz in total). To meet these req...

Noise in a Calorimeter Readout System Using Periodic Sampling

Fourier transform analysis of the calorimeter noise problem gives quantitative results on a) the time-height correlation, b) the effect of background on optimal shaping and on the ENC, c) sampling frequency requirements, and d) the relation between sampling frequency and the required quantization error.
