Large-scale real-time signal processing in physics experiments: The ALICE TPC FPGA pipeline
J. Alme, T. Alt, C. Andrei +119
For LHC Run 3, the ALICE Time Projection Chamber was upgraded to operate in continuous readout mode. Interaction rates of up to 50 kHz in Pb-Pb collisions require real-time process…
Reconstruction of proton relative stopping power with a granular calorimeter detector model
M. Aehle, J. Alme, G. G. Barnaföldi +49
Proton computed tomography (pCT) aims to facilitate precise dose planning for hadron therapy, a promising and effective method for cancer treatment. Hadron therapy utilizes protons…
The FoCal prototype - an extremely fine-grained electromagnetic calorimeter using CMOS pixel sensors
A. P. de Haas, G. Nooren, T. Peitzmann +9
A prototype of a Si-W EM calorimeter was built with Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors as the active elements. With a pixelsize of 30 m it allows digital calorimetry, i.e. the part…
Development of Wireless Techniques in Data and Power Transmission - Application for Particle Physics Detectors
R. Brenner, S. Ceuterickx, C. Dehos +15
Wireless techniques have developed extremely fast over the last decade and using them for data and power transmission in particle physics detectors is not science- fiction any more…
