In particular we will analyse the performance of the ASIC with a Phoswich PET module. FlexToT ASIC is optimized for readout of common cathode Silicon Photo- Multipliers arrays with direct coupling and individual anode voltage control. FlexToT presents the following features: wide dynamic range, high speed, low input impedance, multi channel, low power and separated timing and charge signal output. It has 16 independent outputs for energy, a single fast timing output and pile-up detection. We will present experimental results on identification of the signal of different crystals (BGO and LYSO) based on timing and energy signals.

The low jitter current mode processing together with a configurable differential current mode logic (CML) output provides a timing signal suitable for Time of Flight (TOF) measurements. Each channel delivers a digital output of a Time Over Threshold (TOT) type with a pulse width proportional to peak current (charge) input. We will present experimental results on the identification of interactions on different crystals (BGO and LYSO) combining time and energy measurements. Figure 1 shows preliminary results on FlexToT capability for Phoswich operation. The information provided by time and energy channels of FlexToT seems to be sufficient to discriminate signals of GSO and LYSO crystals excited by a Na22 source.![Figure 1.

[Tipp2014] TIPP 2014 abstract evaluation update
by Jan Visser 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Dear Vincenzo and Jaap, The abstract submission will be closed tomorrow, Friday February 28 and we would like to give you some further information to complete the rating of all abstracts. We expect to have in your session 15 talks of 20 min, but we will only finalise this number after all abstracts have been rated. It is possible that we will increase the number of slots in your session as there is still room in the overall programme. Therefore, we ask you to propose for talks all the abstracts that meet your requirements for a talk, as we can always reward a poster presentation to the ones we cannot accept as a talk. Ideally, we would like to receive a ranking list to facilitate the assignment of the exact number of talks to each track. We would appreciate if you could complete the rating by Wednesday March 12. Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation, looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam, Jan Visser on behalf of the local organising committee

See below a detailed summary of your submitted abstract: Conference: Tipp 2014 - Third International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics Submitted by: AHMAD, Salleh Submitted on: 28 February 2014 10:49 Title: Triroc: 64-channel SiPM read-out ASIC for PET/PET-ToF application Abstract content Triroc is the latest addition to SiPM readout ASICs family developed at Weeroc, a start-up company from the Omega microelectronics group of IN2P3/CNRS. This chip developed under the framework TRIMAGE European project which is aimed for building a cost effective tri-modal PET/MR/EEG brain scan. To ensure the flexibility and compatibility with any SiPM in the market, the ASIC is designed to be capable of accepting negative and positive polarity input signals. This 64-channel ASIC, is suitable for SiPM readout which requires high accuracy timing and charge measurements. Targeted applications would be PET prototyping with time-of-flight capability. Main features of Triroc includes high dynamic range ADC up to 2500 photoelectrons and TDC fine time binning of 40 ps. Triroc requires very minimal external components which means it is a good contender for compact multichannel PET prototyping. Triroc is designed by using AMS 0.35µm SiGe technology and submitted in March 2014. The detail design of this chip will be presented. Summary Triroc is a 64-channel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) readout ASIC targeted for Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomograpy (TOF-PET) application. This chip developed for TRIMAGE project which is aimed for building a cost effective tri-modal PET/MR/EEG brain scan. The low-noise, DC-coupled front-end amplifiers of this ASIC accept both negative and positive input signals thus making it suitable for reading out any SiPM in the market. Moreover, individual input DC level adjustment is available for correcting the non-uniformity of SiPM gain. In each ASIC channel, the incoming signals will be sent into two different paths: for energy and time measurements. A variable gain semi-gaussien shaper is used for shaping the input signal in energy measurements. The energy conversion is handled by a 10-bit Wilkinson ADC. This ADC is a proven design and it is expected to be linear up to 2500 photoelectrons. Additionally, a charge trigger is available and can be used for events validation at required energy such as 511 keV. Signal from high speed input pre-amplifier is fed into a discriminator in order to provide a fast trigger for time measurements. A TDC module with coarse and 40 ps fine time is used to time-stamp this trigger. The digitized data are collected by the digital part which is also capable to validate 511 keV events and reject noise. Running at 80 Mhz, data will be transmitted through 4-bits parallel links. Other features on the digital side are zero suppress readout and TDC data compression. In all, the ASIC should be able to process up to 30k events per second. Triroc can be operated with minimal external components, since most of the components for SiPM readout are packed internally. This feature makes the ASIC is a good contender in compact multi-channel PET applications. Triroc is designed by using AMS 0.35µm SiGe technology and will be submitted in March 2014.

General-purpose computing on GPUs is emerging as a new paradigm in several fields of science, although so far applications have been tailored to the specific strengths of such devices as accelerator in offline computation. With the steady reduction of GPU latencies, and the increase in link and memory throughput, the use of such devices for real-time applications in high-energy physics data acquisition and trigger systems is becoming ripe. We will discuss in details the use of online parallel computing on GPU for synchronous low level trigger. We will show the results of two solution to reduce the data transmission latency: the first based on fast capture special driver and the second based on direct GPU communication using NaNet, a multi-standard, FPGA-based, low-latency, PCIe network interface card with GPUDirect capabilities. We will present preliminary results on a first field test in the CERN NA62 experiment. This study is done in the framework of GAP (GPU application project), a wider project intended to study the use of GPUs in real-time applications.

The background detection is based on Cherenkov radiation produced in synthetic fused silica read out by a fast, UV sensitive photomultiplier tube. Twenty detector units per end will be azimuthally distributed around the rotating shielding of CMS, covering ~408 cm2 at 20.6m from the interaction point, at a radius of ~180 cm. The directional and fast response of the system allows the discrimination of the background particles from the dominant flux in the cavern induced by pp collision debris, produced within the 25 ns bunch spacing. A robust multi-layered shielding will enclose each detector unit to protect the photomultiplier tube from the magnetic field and to eliminate the occupancy from low energy particles. The design of the front-end units is validated by experimental results. An overview of the new system to be integrated in CMS during the current shutdown of LHC will be presented, and its perspective for monitoring in High Luminosity LHC.

In this upgrade, a trigger-less data acquisition is being developed to read-out the full detector at the bunch-crossing rate of 40 MHz. In particular, the High Level Trigger (HLT) system, where the bulk of the trigger decision is implemented via software on a CPU farm, has to be heavily revised. Since the small LHCb event size (about 100 kB after the upgrade), many-core architectures such as General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) and multi-core CPUs can be used to process many events in parallel for real-time selection, and may offer a solution for reducing the cost of the HLT farm. Track reconstruction and vertexing are the more time-consuming applications running in HLT and therefore are the first to be ported on many-core. In this talk we discussed the studies ongoing in LHCb for implementing pattern-recogniton algorithms for the Velo detector on many-core systems. We present our solution for porting the existing Velo tracking algorithm (FastVelo) on GPGPU, and we show the achieved performance. We plan to test the parallelized version of FastVelo during the data-taking in 2015 and assess the impact of the many-core solution on the HLT infrastructure. We discuss also other tracking algorithms in view of the upgrade and their preliminary performaces.

The need for this sensitivity places several stringent requirements on the detector development. The experiment requires to detect the monochromatic electron of 105 MeV, $ie$. the momentum resolution is primarily limited by the multiple scattering effects. And also, high power proton driver is suitable to accumulate an enough statistics, $ie$. high rate capability is necessary. Thus we need the very light material detector which should be operational with high intensity beam in order to achieve an excellent momentum resolution, better than 200 keV/$c$, and to accumulate an enough statistics, muon rates of 5 MHz. In order to fulfill such requirements, we decided to develop the straw-base planar tracker which should be operational in the vacuum and should be made by extremely light material. The COMET straw tracker consists of 10 mm diameter tube, longer than 1 m length, with 20 $\mu$m thickness Mylar foil and 70 nm aluminum deposition, even thinner material down to 12 $\mu$m thickness is under development by the ultrasonic welding technique. In this presentation, the development of COMET straw tracker is described including the prospect of final detector construction.

The actual problem is to study multi-bunch beam instabilities. To solve this problem a high-speed electron beam profile monitor is developed. This device includes a photodetector unit and signal recorder. The photodetector unit is bult on a photodiode strip consisting of 16 integrated avalanche photodiodes. Electric pulses from the photodiodes are fed to inputs of analog integrators. The integrator is designed for input pulse repetition rate of 200 MHz. The 16-channel signal recorder fixes the integrals values, performs their 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and buffering in the internal 3 Gb memory. The accumulated data is transferred via Ethernet 100BASE-T. The device described must continuously implement 15625000 measurements of the vertical or horizontal electron beam profile at 16 points with a time resolution of 5 ns. Summary The electron beam quality determines the main synchrotron radiation characteristics therefore beam diagnostics is of great importance for synchrotron radiation source performance. The real-time processing of the electron beam parameters is a necessary procedure to optimize the key characteristics of the source using feedback loops. The frequency of electron beam turning in the synchrotron storage ring is about 1 MHz. In multi-bunch mode electrons are grouped into a series of bunches. The bunch repetition frequency depends on the total number of bunches and usually reaches hundreds of MHz. The actual problem is to study multi-bunch beam instabilities. To solve this problem a high-speed electron beam profile monitor is developed. This device includes a photodetector unit and signal recorder. The photodetector unit is bult on a photodiode strip consisting of 16 integrated avalanche photodiodes. It takes the radiation intensity distribution on the electron beam profile. Electric pulses from the photodiodes are fed to inputs of analog integrators. The integrator operates continuously without reset between two adjacent pulses. Varying continuously the integrator output level consistently takes the value of the every input pulse integral. This technique improves the integrator performance. The integrator is designed for input pulse repetition rate of 200 MHz. The 16-channel signal recorder fixes the integrals values, performs their 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and buffering in the internal 3 Gb memory. The accumulated data is transferred via Ethernet 100BASE-T. The device design has been completed. The program shell developing is in progress. The prototype of the analog integrator has been tested. The next stage is the whole device prototyping and testing at Siberia-2 which has a close bunch repetition frequency of 181.6 MHz. The device described must continuously implement 15625000 measurements of the vertical or horizontal electron beam profile at 16 points with a time resolution of 5 ns.

Abstract content Cosmic ray tomography is a technique under development since years. It consists in using particle detectors to reconstruct the scattering angle of cosmic rays traversing the volume under inspection, thus revealing the presence of materials with high atomic number, as radioactive elements or heavy metals. Although the validity of the muon tomography has already been demonstrated, its use on a large scale is still disfavored because of the high cost and complexity of the detectors. We propose a novel detector (Micro Channel Device, MCD) specifically designed for this application, having the potential to be easily produced on industrial scale.The proposed detector belongs to the category of MPGDs with an amplification region less than 1 mm wide. The use of this device has several advantages: it allows for compact scanning stations (reduced transverse dimensions) and reduced operating costs (limited applied voltages and small gas volumes) when compared to other gas detectors as drift chambers; it can be adapted to curved shape to better fit a scanning station and it is competitive from the point of view of the production costs. The potential for industrial mass production makes the MCD a good candidate for the homeland security market. We will illustrate the basic concept of an MCD, its working principle and expected performance. The concept of a small-size cylindrical scanning station based on MCD and the study of the resolution power on different materials will also be presented.
