Data Acquisition for the CALICE engineering prototype of the Analog Hadronic Calorimeter for the International Linear Collider. — •Adrian Irles for the CALICE-D collaboration — Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg
The engineering prototype of the Analogue Hadronic Calorimeter, developed by the CALICE collaboration for future linear colliders, consists in a set of high granularity layers of scintillator tiles readout by a silicon photo-multiplier (SiPM) and is housed in steel cassettes which can be interleaved with different absorber plates. The readout is done with a dedicated front-end SiPM readout system: the SPIROC ASIC. The current data acquisition (DAQ) framework used for the engineering prototype of the AHCAL is fruit of several years of improvement and exhaustive testing in the laboratory and in different test beams and has been designed to be scalable to the full detector size (∼8·106 channels) making use of a new Link Data Aggregator. Current efforts in the DAQ development aims to gain in flexibility to include other subsystems in common test beams. The solution that is presented here is based on the use of the EUDAQ software which is a DAQ framework designed to be modular and portable and that has strong suppport from the ILC community.
