Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR)

http://www.jinr.ru/

an international intergovernmental research organization in the Dubna science city of the Moscow region. The founders are 16 JINR member states. The Institute's main fields of expertise are nuclear physics, particle physics, and condensed matter studies. JINR supervises the construction of the NICA accelerator complex in Dubna. This is one of the six Megasience-class projects in Russia. The construction of the complex commenced in 2016.

Data acquisition system components of the SPD facility in the NICA accelerator complex

Task

The objective is to develop data acquisition system components for the SPD experiment at the NICA collider, with the aim of synchronizing the collider event and particle detectors with an accuracy of 1 nanosecond. This will facilitate the reconstruction of bunch crossing events at the NICA collider.

Результат

The TCS (Trigger and Control System) synchronization and control subsystem has been redesigned with the introduction of a new TCS module, which has been developed in order to meet the requirements of the SPD unit. The TCS subsystem has been developed with the specific purpose of testing individual SPD detectors within the designated test area of the collider.
The current stage of development is the creation of a high-precision TSS (Time Synchronization System) subsystem for use in SPD. The subsystem is implemented in accordance with a no-trigger data acquisition concept and the White Rabbit protocol.
