Image Compression for the Silicon Drift Detectors in the ALICE Experiment

The output of each Silicon Drift Detector in the Inner Tracking System, being prepared for the future ALICE Experiment on the LHC, is a type of image composed of 256 successive digitilizations from each of 256 parallel charge measuring channels. We describe an algorithm for the zero suppression and...

Sumario:The output of each Silicon Drift Detector in the Inner Tracking System, being prepared for the future ALICE Experiment on the LHC, is a type of image composed of 256 successive digitilizations from each of 256 parallel charge measuring channels. We describe an algorithm for the zero suppression and data compression for the Silicon Drift Detectors in the ALICE Experiment, which seeks to maintain maximum precision within the limits of data transmission bandwidth, to retain two-dimensional cluster reconstructability and to statistically monitor the background.(Abstract only available, full text will follow)
