Acquisition system for the CLIC Module

TL;DR

This paper discusses the development of a radiation-tolerant acquisition system for the CLIC module, including design, electronics, and testing of the local crate and mezzanines for various subsystems.

Contribution

It introduces a new acquisition system architecture with specialized mezzanines for CLIC modules, tailored for radiation environments.

Findings

Design of a radiation-hard acquisition crate and motherboards

Development of a versatile acquisition mezzanine for testing

Implementation of read-out electronics for drive beam stripline BPMs

Abstract

The status of R&D activities for CLIC module acquisition are discussed [1]. LAPP is involved in the design of the local CLIC module acquisition crate, described in the document Study of the CLIC Module Front-End Acquisition and Evaluation Electronics [2]. This acquisition system is a project based on a local crate, assigned to the CLIC module, including several mother boards. These motherboards are foreseen to hold mezzanines dedicated to the different subsystems. This system has to work in radiation environment. LAPP is involved in the development of Drive Beam stripline position monitors read-out, described in the document Drive Beam Stripline BPM Electronics and Acquisition [3]. LAPP also develops a generic acquisition mezzanine that allows to perform all-around acquisition and components tests for drive beam stripline BPM read-out.
