Proton Calorimetry/Equipment
This page contains information on the various pieces of experimental equipment that form the Proton Calorimetry detector setup.
General Information
Summary of QuARC components and codes needed.
FPGAs: Nexys Video, USB104, Zybo Z7 and DDC232 Interface
The DDC232 is a 32-channel ADC. Housed on a custom circuit board, it used to measure the charges of 16 photodiodes and is interfaced with a Nexys Video.
More details can be found on the FPGAs: Nexys Video, USB104, Zybo Z7 and DDC232 Interface page.
DDC232-based Photodiode Interface Boards
Custom ADC boards that take standard photodiodes have been designed that are based on the TI DDC232 and interface to an FPGA.
More details can be found on the DDC232-based Photodiode Interface Boards page.
D106 Inventory and Location
The list of items and tools stored in D106, updated on Dec 2020, is available on the D106 Inventory and Location page.
ISDI CMOS Sensor
The ISDI 1510-100 15x10cm CMOS pixel sensor allows images of the scintillator detector stack light output to be recorded.
More details can be found on the ISDI CMOS Sensor page.
Caen Detector Emulator
The Caen DT5800D Detector Emulator provides the capability for emulating the output of an arbitrary detector system.
More details can be found on the Caen Detector Emulator page.
Nikon D70 DSLR
A Nikon D70 DSLR was borrowed from Adam Gibson in Medical Physics to allow remote acquisition of scintillator images.
More details can be found on the Nikon D70 DSLR page.
TI DDC1128 Evaluation Module
The DDC1128EVM provides a platform for evaluating the DDC1128 charge digitizing A/D converters. A PC interface board and two DDC1128 devices are included along with software that makes analysis and testing of these devices manageable.
More details can be found on the TI DDC1128 Evaluation Module page.
Remote Desktop Access
More details can be found on the Remote Desktop Access page.
Connecting HV to DAQ Laptop
More details can be found on the Connecting HV to DAQ Laptop page.
LeCroy Oscilloscope
Details of the analysis of single-module calorimeter data taken by the LeCroy scope can be found on the LeCroy Oscilloscope page.
This page needs to be updated with work completed in the 2018-2019 academic year.
