From Scale to Scott • Time reconstruction Error in peaking time reconstruction Relationship between TOT & Tpeak • Main results from real PMT output signals study • Arrival time [ok] • Easy walk correction with only 4 points • Charge reconstruction [ok] • DE/E < 10% for a dynamic range < 80 PE with 8 thresholds • Limited by PMT output current saturation for the dynamic range • DE/E < 10% with 4 thresholds for a dynamic range < 10 PE and DE/E > 10% for a dynamic range > 10 PE Front End Electronics readout Fabrice Guilloux / Eric Delagnes Genova : WP3 Meeting
From Scale to Scott • Scale + Optimize for « SPEs » (Most frequent events).+ Self trigged and Timestamp on chip : no external data treatment+ On-chip “derandomization” - Complex analogue part : asynchronous memory + multi-channels ADC+ charge reconstruction.- Need of an extra-channel for non SPE event (waveform) • ToT Asic [Comparators only] + Fast data conversion to digital+ Completely synchronous - Fast link between the ASIC and the FPGA high power consumption and link problems (same PCB) - Number of thresholds limited to match with DAQ data rate New ASIC : Synthesis of the two previous concepts Front End Electronics readout Fabrice Guilloux / Eric Delagnes Genova : WP3 Meeting
