Abstract
The main goal of the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is to measure the branching ratio of the K + → π +νν decay, collecting about 100 events in two years of data taking. The nature of the experiment puts stringent requirements on the trigger and data acquisition system: the efficient online selection of interesting events and loss-less readout at high rate will be key issues. Readout uniformity among different sub-detectors and scalability were taken into account in the architecture design. For this purpose an integrated trigger and data acquisition board (TEL62) has been designed and the first prototype is currently under test. © 2011 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
