Pilot run of the new DAQ of the COMPASS experiment

چکیده
This contribution focuses on the deployment and first results of the new data acquisition system (DAQ) of the COMPASS experiment at CERN laboratory. The COMPASS experiment is a fixed target experiment with maximum rate of 1.5 GB/s. The DAQ utilizing FPGA-based event builder is designed to be able to readout data at maximum rate of the experiment. The DAQ is developed under name RCCARS (run control, configuration, and readout system). The RCCARS has been deployed for the pilot run starting from the September 2014 and further developed for long run in 2015. In the paper, we present performance and stability results of the new DAQ architecture; we compare it with the original system in more details.

FPGA based data acquisition system for COMPASS experiment
This paper discusses the present data acquisition system (DAQ) of the COMPASS experiment at CERN and presents development of a new DAQ. The new DAQ must preserve present data format and be able to communicate with FPGA cards. Parts of the new DAQ are based on state machines and they are implemented in C++ with usage of the QT framework, the DIM library, and the IPBus technology. Prototype of th...
متن کاملMeasurements with hadron beams at COMPASS
The physics program of the COMPASS experiment at CERN focuses on the investigation of the hadron structure and spectroscopy, using both leptonic and hadronic probes. The COMPASS experiment has collected so far mostly data with polarized muon beams of 160 GeV, but also a pilot data taking with negative hadron beams of 190 GeV has been successfully completed at the end of the 2004 run. The main p...
متن کاملRecent Physics Results with the COMPASS Experiment
The COMPASS experiment has obtained first physics results in the field of polarized distribution functions for quarks and gluons using muon scattering off polarized deuterons. The analysis using open charm production and pairs of high pT hadrons is presented. We also have used a transversely polarized target to address transverse information for quarks inside the nucleon. In addition, a pilot r...
متن کاملNew results on the search for spin-exotic mesons with COMPASS
The COMPASS fixed-target experiment at the CERN-SPS studies the structure and spectrum of hadrons. One important goal using hadron beams is the search for new states, in particular spin-exotic mesons and glueballs. As a first input to the puzzle, COMPASS observed a significant J PC spin-exotic signal in the 2004 pilot run data (190 GeV/c π − beam, Pb target) in three charged pion final states c...
متن کاملFlow Visualization by Conditional Sampling of a Single X-Wire Probe in a Very Long Run Experiment
Flow visualization techniques using tracer markers such as die, smoke, hydrogen bubbles, etc., have been widely used in experimental investigations of large scale structures of a variety of flow fields. They have played an important role in understanding the physics of the coherent structures formation and evolution in the transitional as well as the turbulent regions of the flow fields. Howeve...
