Test of ATLAS RPCs Front-End electronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Front-End Electronics performing the ATLAS RPCs readout is a full custom 8 channels GaAs circuit, which integrates in a single die both the analog and digital signal processing. The die is bonded on the Front-End board which is completely closed inside the detector Faraday cage. About 50 000 FE boards are foreseen for the experiment. The complete functionality of the FE boards will be certificated before the detector assembly. We describe here the systematic test devoted to check the dynamic functionality of each single channel and the selection criteria applied. It measures and registers all relevant electronics parameters to build up a complete database for the experiment. The statistical results from more than 1100 channels are presented. r 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Towards the Development of an Integrated Testing Method for the Front End Board Electronics
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will use new advancements in technology that will enable it to achieve unprecedented energies in order to probe the Standard Model and beyond. The front-end board (FEB) is the principal readout electronics for the liquid argon calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment that will be conducted at the LHC. In this paper the testing methods for the front-end board are discu...
متن کاملFELIX: a PCIe based high-throughput approach for interfacing front-end and trigger electronics in the ATLAS Upgrade framework
The ATLAS Phase-I upgrade (2019) requires a Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system able to trigger and record data from up to three times the nominal LHC instantaneous luminosity. The Front-End LInk eXchange (FELIX) system provides an infrastructure to achieve this in a scalable, detector agnostic and easily upgradeable way. It is a PC-based gateway, interfacing custom radiation tolerant op...
متن کاملLifetime Test for Optical Transmitters in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter Readout System
Accelerated lifetime test has been carried out for 147 days on the custom-made optical transmitters used in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter front-end electronics readout system. The lifetime of these optical transmitters is estimated to be greater than 200 years and exceeds the design goal for the LHC. The random failure rate has been estimated at 9.6×10 per hour at 90% confidence level.

Optical data links are used in detector front-end electronics readout systems of experiments in the Tevatron and the LHC. Optical links in high energy particle physics experiments usually have special requirements such as radiation tolerance, ultra high reliability and low power dissipation. These requirements are often not met by commercial components which are designed for applications in non...
