Description
Experiments focusing on the structure of excited nucleons rely on sophisticated instrumentation, including wide spectrometers and large calorimeters equipped with a variety of detectors such as SiPMs, silicon microstrip trackers, plastic scintillators, drift tubes, resistive plate chambers and a new generation of position-sensitive detectors with accurate timing capabilities. To meet the demand for precise spectroscopy and ToF measurements, waveform digitizers and ASICs have become standard tools for building robust readout systems capable of handling the vast amount of data generated by these detectors.
The FERS-5200 by CAEN addresses the challenge of providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness in the readout of large detector arrays. This distributed and easily scalable platform integrates the entire readout chain, from detector frontend to DAQ. Based on compact ASIC-based cards integrating A/D conversion and data processing, the FERS-5200 ensures optimal performance across extensive detector volumes without compromising readout efficiency. Synchronization, event building, and DAQ operations are efficiently managed by a single Concentrator board, capable of sustaining thousands of readout channels.
With its compatibility spanning a wide range of detectors such as SiPMs, multianode PMTs, GEMs, Silicon Strip detectors, Wire Chambers, and Gas Tubes, the FERS-5200 meets the diverse requirements in the field of nuclear and particle physics.
