Ethernet Network-Based DAQ and Smart Sensors for the OPERA Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment

Tags:
ethernet

Overview This paper proposes a data acquisition scheme for the OPERA long-baseline neutrino experiment based exclusively on Ethernet. The expected data rate allows the use of an Ethernet capable device close to the sensor. The basic idea is to build a distributed acquisition system on Ethernet, made of about 1000 nodes of 64 channel front-end modules. Each node will be controlled and readout by an embedded Ethernet chip and will be therefore transparently visible on the network. These modules will be directly controlled by the event building computers and will be able to execute a set of embedded functions for slow control monitoring and data readout. The paper presents a first prototype of Ethernet capable front-end module with high speed ADC and TDC capabilities.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
