Daedalus: A hardware signal analyser for Icarus

Icarus detector [1]is a large-volume (400cm) liquid Argon TPC that requires continuous high rate sampling signal recording on each channel (about 50000) to produce event images quite similar to the ones from bubble chambers. In order to optimize the memory usage, a signal feature extractor, that com...

Summary:Icarus detector [1]is a large-volume (400cm) liquid Argon TPC that requires continuous high rate sampling signal recording on each channel (about 50000) to produce event images quite similar to the ones from bubble chambers. In order to optimize the memory usage, a signal feature extractor, that commands memory writing only upon signal detection, has been designed in VLSI CMOS.
