Se-D prototype for the focal plane of the PRISMA spectrometer(Manchester, Daresbury, Paisley EPSRC grant) Detector: Principle (see Ivan Mikka’s talk) Prototypeat Manchester Electronics ASIC’s + FADCs M. Labiche - INTAG workshop GSI 24-25 May 2007
Motivation • Z, A identification for medium mass and heavy nuclei
Prototype at Manchester University • Aluminized mylar emissive foil (~.9µm thick) • MWPC with 64 wires • - with individual wire readout
The EDAQ readout system • Prototype SED PPAC readout • Gassiplex 16 channel ASIC • Preamp – Shaping amp – Track and hold • Analog multiplexed output • Two GAS32 boards – 64 PPAC wires – four connections. • 5Mhz readout clock – 14us • 10 ADC samples per channel – average of four recorded. • PowerPC in the FPGA formats data • Currently slow serial link to MIDAS in PC – 100hz event rate. • Ethernet is in development From P. Coleman-Smith
ASICs • Existing ASICS chips : Gassiplex (Gas32) Two Gas32 cards (with 2x16 Gassiplex ASICs per card) reading 64 PPAC wires in place behind the MWPC.
Flash ADCs module Eight channel FADC - ASIC readout module in the laboratory during development
Test of the FEE prototype at Daresbury Lab. 1 Gas32 card connected to a 16x2 strips DSSD 3- source used The FEE prototype performed well
Gaseous detector 64 output channels
In summary : • Two GAS32 boards are installed in the chamber to read 64 wires from the gaseous detector. • The V4FADC and data acquisition equipment is installed in Manchester for use with the SED prototype. • - VME readout of a second MWPC installed into the same data acquisition system. • Ten further V4FADC modules have been manufactured by Norcott Engineering. • Commissioning will be carried out by P.J. Coleman-Smith.
Digitisers for SAGE & LISA Detector SAGE & LISA: Digitisers + TDR interface M. Labiche INTAG workshop GSI 24-25 May 2007
Silicon And Germanium array (SAGE)(Liverpool, Daresbury EPSRC grant) • For spectroscopy of heavy nuclei • SAGE will be used to detect in coincidence the electrons and photons at target position of RITU. • SAGE sensitive to both E2 and M1 transitions • SAGE : Jurogam + SACRED
Light Ion Spectroscopy Array (LISA)(Liverpool, Surrey, Daresbury EPSRC grant) • For proton drip line spectroscopy (in the region N=Z) • LISA = Si detector at target position of RITU to detect prompt charged particles (protons or alphas). • LISA design: Resis. strip octagonal detector • + annular DSSD at forward angles
From Ian Lazarus Digital Electronics Requirements: • 14bits, 100MHz for pulse shape analysis & energy is normal • But, don’t need PSA because detectors aren’t segmented and preamps are too slow. • So 14 bits 50MHz would be fast enough. • Real time processing up to 30kHz count rate (energy only) • Data rate: 30k x (energy (2) + timestamp (6) + ID (2)) • = 300kBytes/second per channel: 5Mbytes/sec/16 chan card. • 100 channels = 30Mbytes/sec.
From Ian Lazarus Commercial electronics: why? • Nicely packaged for our application • Volume users (Radar, software radio)= sensible price • Powerful FPGA built in • Can process 50kHz singles rate on 48 channels • 20-30Mbytes/sec output- OK over CPCI backplane • Needs interface cards for TDR port and analogue matching

Summary • Lyrtech digitiser cards purchased for another project have been evaluated. • Electronics and DAQ work has confirm the suitability of new (commercial) digitisers, built by Lyrtech, as the basis for EDAQ in experiments such as SAGE and LISA.. • Software for backplane data readout has already been implemented by V. Pucknell
Summary • a NIM card has been designed and built to interface the new digitisers with the GREAT TDR and clock system. • This card is being commissioned now (Spring 2007), and the VHDL code for its programmable logic has recently been completed. • Another NIM card has been built and is being debugged which allows gain and offset control for the digitiser inputs (controlled over Ethernet link).
