TL;DR
The paper presents the development and testing of a trigger merging module for the J-PARC E16 experiment, capable of high-speed data processing from 256 channels to facilitate trigger decisions in particle physics measurements.
Contribution
A novel trigger merging module (TRG-MRG) with high-speed serialization and optical data transmission designed for the J-PARC E16 experiment.
Findings
Achieved 1 ns TDC performance
Successfully multiplexed data with four 6.25 Gbps transceivers
Demonstrated reliable operation in tests
Abstract
An experiment to measure an invariant mass of {\phi} mesons in nuclear medium is planned as the J-PARC E16 experiment. A trigger merging module (TRG-MRG) has been developed to detect leading-edges from 256 channels of discriminator-output signals and transmit those serialized hit data to trigger decision module with four optical links. The result of the test shows enough performance of the TRG-MRG as 1 ns TDC and data multiplexer with four 6.25 Gbps transceivers.
