Mini-KASCADE electronics miniaturization — •Christian Tesch, Günter Quast, Andreas Haungs, Harald Schieler und Bernd Hoffmann — KIT IKP, Karlsruhe, Deutschland

Mini-KASCADE is the attempt to provide a high-quality, mobile small scintillator array to detect cosmic ray air showers. In my master thesis I am recycling scintillators from the KASCADE experiment for such a small modular detector array. The main goal is to replace the currently used DAQ-rack from the KASCADE era with small DAQ-cards. Focusing on miniaturization and reducing the data per event in the DAQ chain as early as possible, the data rate should be low enough to use a small single-board computer to exchange events between the detectors and the master node, which then handles the data analysis.
