mCBM@SIS18 - a CBM full system test-setup at GSI — •Christian Sturm, David Emschermann, Jochen Frühauf, Pierre-Alain Loizeau, Wolfgang Niebur, Florian Uhlig, and Junfeng Yang for the CBM collaboration — GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH

The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) at FAIR will measure relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions with unprecedented collision rates up to 10 MHz leading to data rates up to 1 TB per second. To achieve the required performance a free-streaming data acquisition system is being developed. A CBM full system test-setup called mCBM@SIS18 (”mini-CBM”) will be installed at GSI/SIS18 in the years 2017/2018 in order to develop, commission and optimize (i) the free-streaming data acquisition system including the data transport to a high performance computer farm (GreenIT cube) (ii) the online track and event reconstruction and event selection algorithms and (iii) the offline data analysis as well as the controls software package. Furthermore, the setup offers additional high-rate tests of the final detector prototypes in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Hence, mCBM@SIS18 will allow to test and optimize the performance of the detector systems including the software chain under realistic experiment conditions which will significantly reduce the commissioning time for CBM at SIS100. At this presentation an overview on the project will be given.
