Upgrade of the Juelich Digital Readout System for PANDA development — •Simone Esch, Marius C. Mertens, Tobias Stockmanns, and James Ritman — IKP Forschungszentrum Jülich

The PANDA detector is one of the main experiments at the upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Darmstadt (FAIR). The fixed target experiment will explore pp annihilation with intense, phase space cooled beams with momenta between 1.5 and 15 GeV/c. For the development of the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD), the innermost tracking detector of PANDA, the evaluation of prototypes and detector parts is very important. Different prototypes of the pixel front-end chip ToPix (Torino Pixel) need to be tested and characterized under similar conditions to improve the development. To control these devices under test (DUT) and to save the collected data a suitable readout system is necessary. To have similar conditions for different prototypes a modular concept of a readout system is required which can be adapted in a simple way to the specific interface of different types of electronics. To meet the requirements of an upcoming full size ToPix prototype and online analysis an upgrade of the Juelich Digital Readout System was developed. We will present the concepts and the upgrade of the FPGA based Jülich digital readout system and measurements of the recent MVD pixel front-end prototype ToPix3. First tests of the implementation of the radiation hard GBT transfer protocol are also shown.
