The Electronics and Data Acquisition System for the DarkSide-50 Veto Detectors

P. Agnes, L. Agostino, I. F. M. Albuquerque +155

DarkSide-50 is a detector for dark matter candidates in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). It utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) for t…
