Electronics

http://icarus.lngs.infn.it/Electronics.php

The read-out system is structured as a multichannel waveform recorder that stores the charge information collected by the sense wires during the drift of electrons. Each wire is equipped with a current integrating amplifier followed by a 10 bit Flash ADC that samples the signal every 400 ns. The converted data is stored in a digital memory for further evaluation. 8 units are used for the horizontal wires of the Induction-1 planes (4 units for the left chamber and 4 for the right one, placed at the corner...

EventReconstruction

http://icarus.lngs.infn.it/EventReconstruction.php

Procedure means building a complete spatial and calorimetric picture of the event using the information extracted from the wires output signal. Basic unit in the energy deposition analysis is hit, defined as a part of a track which energy is read by a given wire of readout planes. The main steps of the offline reconstruction are:. Results from the tests.

WireChamber

http://icarus.lngs.infn.it/WireChamber.php

The wire chambers must be able to perform non-destructive read-out with several planes with a few milimeters pitch. They have to be built out of non-contaminating materials and must stand the thermal stress of going from room to LAr temperature. The precision and the reliability of the mechanics has to be high, and a good knowledge of the electric field in the detector must be granted. Each TPC consists of a system of three vertical, parallel wire planes (17.95 x 3.16 m. And the second plane - 60. The wi...

DAQ

http://icarus.lngs.infn.it/DAQ.php

Data Aquisition System (DAQ). The data-aquisition system was based on the following assumptions:. 96 electronics racks, hosting up to 55296 digitizing channels. Local buffering up to 4096 10-bit samples for each channel (1.6ms). Network architecture merging data from multiple independent sources. Maximum sustained single hit rate of 1Hz/wire (2Mb/s/crate; 200Mb/s for the whole detector). Intermediate data storage able to decouple raw data acquisition from pseudo-on-line filtering. Results from the tests.
