Abstract
The High-Intensity Kaon Experiment (HIKE) is a proposed future kaon experiment designed for the CERN SPS accelerator. To cope with a planned increase of beam intensity by a factor of 4 with respect to the current NA62 experiment, the new Main Electromagnetic Calorimeter (MEC) has to provide a similar improvement in time resolution over the current Liquid Krypton calorimeter, down to ≈100ps for a 40GeV photon, while maintaining a comparable energy and spatial resolution. To achieve these goals, the planned detector consists of a shashlik calorimeter paired with high-resolution analog to digital converter for both energy deposit and arrival time estimates, operating at fast sample rates (∼1GHz). This contribution describes a prototype of the readout system using commercial “off-the-shelf” boards. In particular, we focused on feature extraction and tested it using a pulse generator. We included a data readout logic based on the TCP/IP protocol allows for easy deployment in beam tests.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
