WP3: Test beam and DAQ infrastructure
Objectives
Task 3.1 Coordination and Communication
• Management and coordination of the Work Package, including monitoring of work progress, budget spending and
reporting to the project management.
• Organisation of WP meetings as well as meetings with other WPs and coordinating presentation of results within
AIDAinnova and to the detector community.
Task 3.2 Upgrading the EUDET-style beam telescope infrastructure
• Upgrade of the EUDET-style beam reference telescopes with the more recent ALPIDE sensor
• Integration of new AIDAinnova next generation sensors into current telescopes
• Development of a common cold-box for test-beam facilities
Task 3.3 Sub-ns timing capabilities for the EUDET-style telescopes
• Integration of a TimePix4 plane into EUDAQ2
• Picosecond timing support in the AIDA trigger logic unit (TLU)
• Include a plane based on low gain avalanche detectors (LGAD) in the EUDET-style telescopes
Task 3.4 Development of DAQ software for next generation beam tests
• Development of EUDAQ2 software to support picosecond timing of next generation sensors
• Development of versatile online monitoring for EUDAQ2
Task 3.5 Development of common DAQ hardware
• Development of a Caribou-based common readout board to support sensor R&D
• Development of the VMM3 common readout board to support gas detector R&D
