Design and Performance of the Data Acquisition System for the NA61/SHINE Experiment at CERN

This paper describes the hardware, firmware and software systems used in data acquisition for the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS accelerator. Special emphasis is given to the design parameters of the readout electronics for the 40 m^3 volume Time Projection Chamber detectors as these give the...

description This paper describes the hardware, firmware and software systems used in data acquisition for the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS accelerator. Special emphasis is given to the design parameters of the readout electronics for the 40 m^3 volume Time Projection Chamber detectors as these give the largest contribution to event data among all the subdetectors: events consisting of 8 bit ADC values from 256 time slices of 200 k electronic channels are to be read out with order of ~100 Hz readout rate. As the data acquisition system is organized in `push data mode', i.e. local systems transmit data asynchronously, techniques of solving subevent synchronization is also discussed.
