The Trigger and DAQ system for the NA62 experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main goal of the NA62 experiment is to measure the branching ratio of the K → πνν̄ decay, collecting O(100) events in two years of data taking. Efficient online selection of interesting events and loss-less readout at high rate will be key issues for such experiment. An integrated trigger and data acquisition system has been designed. Only the very first trigger stage will be implemented in hardware, in order to reduce the total rate for the software levels on PC farms. Readout uniformity among different subdetectors and scalability were taken into account in the architecture design.

The NA62 experiment [1] at CERN SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) accelerator will be focused on precision tests of the Standard Model via studies of ultra-rare decays of charged kaons. The high resolution Liquid Krypton (LKr) calorimeter of the former NA48 experiment [2], together with other detectors, will provide a photon-veto with hermetic coverage from zero out to large angles from the decay ...

We describe a pilot project (GAP GPU Application Project) for the use of GPUs (Graphics processing units) in online triggering applications for High Energy Physics experiments. Two major trends can be identified in the development of trigger and DAQ systems for particle physics experiments: the massive use of general-purpose commodity systems such as commercial multicore PC farms for data acqui...

Within the ATLAS experiment Trigger/DAQ and DCS are both logically and physically separated. Nevertheless there is a need to communicate. The initial problem definition and analysis suggested three subsystems the Trigger/DAQ DCS Communication (DDC) project should support the ability to: 1. exchange data between Trigger/DAQ and DCS; 2. send alarm messages from DCS to Trigger/DAQ; 3. issue comman...
متن کاملChiral Perturbation Theory tests at NA48/2 and NA62 experiments at CERN
Final results from an analysis of about 400 K± → π±γγ rare decay candidates collected by the NA48/2 and NA62 experiments at CERN during low intensity runs with minimum bias trigger configurations are presented. The results include a model-independent decay rate measurement and fits to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) descriptions. The data support the ChPT prediction for a cusp in the di-photo...

We present test results and characterization of a data compression system for the readout of the NA62 liquid krypton calorimeter trigger processor. The Level-0 electromagnetic calorimeter trigger processor of the NA62 experiment at CERN receives digitized data from the calorimeter main readout board. These data are stored on an on-board DDR2 RAM memory and read out upon reception of a Level-0 a...
