Design and Implementation of a UDP-Based Command Interface for the INO ICAL Experiment
Yuvaraj Elangovan, Mandar Saraf, B. Satyanarayana +9
Efficient command interface is a critical requirement for experiments employing a large number of front-end DAQ modules and control servers. In the context of the INOICAL (India-ba…
Design and Development of Portable RPC-Based Cosmic Muon Tracker
Yuvaraj Elangovan, B. Satyanarayana, Ravindra Shinde +8
Primary cosmic rays when interact with our atmosphere, produce a cascade of lighter secondary particles namely pion, kaon, neutrons, muons, electrons, positrons and neutrinos. Muon…
Development, Characterization, and Testing of a Bias Supply for SiPMs in the CMVD Experiment
Prajjalak Chattopadhyay, Mandar N. Saraf, Gobinda Majumder +2
To assess the viability of a shallow-depth neutrino detector, a Cosmic Muon Veto Detector (CMVD) is being constructed on top of the stack of Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors…
Test-Jig for production testing of RPC-DAQ modules in INO-ICAL Experiment
Yuvaraj Elangovan, Mandar Saraf, B. Satyanarayana +6
The INO-ICAL experiment consist of 28,800 RPCs each equipped with a Front-End FPGA-based Data Acquisition (RPC-DAQ) module for acquiring detector signals. Due to the large number o…
