AGET, the GET front-end ASIC, for the readout of the Time Projection Chambers used in nuclear physic experiments

Abstract: Today with the advent of intense radioactive beams, we have access to nuclear spectroscopy and reaction studies of nuclei far from stability. It has been demonstrated that Time Projection Chambers (TPC) method can be very effective as an active target for such studies yielding low thresholds, efficiency and luminosity [11. To this end a Generic Electronic system for TPCs (GET) is in development and will cover small to medium sized instrumentation (64 to 32 k channels) with a relatively wide charge dynamic rang… Show more

“…Detector signals from the charge readout plane are transmitted through the top flat flange via custom-made extension cable feedthroughs. Signals are digitized and read out by a commercially available data acquisition suite based on AGET chips [17]. On the lower side of the vessel, four small flanges provide ports for pumping, gas filling, and a high voltage feedthrough for the cathode.…”

“…Each FEC contains 4 ASIC chip AGETs, each in charge of amplifying, shaping and 512 analog sampling for 64 channels. Besides, a discriminator for multiplicity building and selftrigger is provided in it [3,4]. Sampled analog signal from AGET is digitized by an ADC, and then the digitized waveform is processed in an on-board FPGA, and finally sent back through optical fiber.…”
