Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāA secondary particle shower acquisition system is under design for the upgrade of CERNās beam wire scanners. The system needs to be capable of performing bunch-by-bunch synchronous measurements with an integration time of 25 ns and to cope with signal variations of up to 6 orders of magnitude. The whole dynamic range should be covered by the acquisition system with a single configuration and should have no tuneable parameters. The secondary particles are detected using a polycrystalline diamond detector with the signal digitization performed nearby with a custom front-end system, designed to resist a total ionising radiation dose up to 1 kGy in 10 years. The digital data transmission, front-end synchronization and control are performed through a bi-directional optical link operating at 4.8 Gbps using CERNās GBT protocol. For the digitization, two radiation tolerant integrator ASICs (ICECAL and QIE10) are under study.
