Performance of a front-end prototype ASIC for the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector
C. Agapopoulou, L. A. Beresford, D. E. Boumediene +34
This paper presents the design and characterisation of a front-end prototype ASIC for the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector, which is planned for the High-Luminosity phase of…
Implementation of a framework for deploying AI inference engines in FPGAs
Ryan Herbst, Ryan Coffee, Nathan Fronk +4
The LCLS2 Free Electron Laser FEL will generate xray pulses to beamline experiments at up to 1Mhz These experimentals will require new ultrahigh rate UHR detectors that can operate…
SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) Electronics: A tone-tracking readout system for superconducting microwave resonator arrays
Cyndia Yu, Zeeshan Ahmed, Josef C. Frisch +22
We describe the newest generation of the SLAC Microresonator RF (SMuRF) electronics, a warm digital control and readout system for microwave-frequency resonator-based cryogenic det…
Smart sensors using artificial intelligence for on-detector electronics and ASICs
Gabriella Carini, Grzegorz Deptuch, Jennet Dickinson +19
Cutting edge detectors push sensing technology by further improving spatial and temporal resolution, increasing detector area and volume, and generally reducing backgrounds and noi…
Belle II Technical Design Report
T. Abe, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk +407
The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected almost 1 billion Y(4S) events in its decade of operation. Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB is under constructi…
An imaging time-of-propagation system for charged particle identification at a super B factory
K. Nishimura, T. Browder, H. Hoedlmoser +7
Super B factories that will further probe the flavor sector of the Standard Model and physics beyond will demand excellent charged particle identification (PID), particularly K/pi…
The PRO1 ASIC for Fast Wilkinson Encoding
L. L. Ruckman, G. S. Varner
Wilkinson conversion of stored samples in large Switch Capacitor Array (SCA) ASICs, such as used for high speed waveform sampling, has many benefits in terms of compactness, no mis…
High Voltage CMOS Control Interface for Astronomy - Grade Charged Coupled Devices
Elena Martin, Gary Varner, Aaron Koga +4
The Pan-STARRS telescope consists of an array of smaller mirrors viewed by a Gigapixel arrays of CCDs. These focal planes employ Orthogonal Transfer CCDs (OTCCDs) to allow on-chip…
