Data acquisition rate enhancement for experiments with exotic nuclei at GSI — •Martin Bajzek1,2 and Nikolaus Kurz1 for the Super-FRS Experiment collaboration — 1GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany — 2Justus-Liebig-Universitat Gießen, Gießen, Germany
In the search for ever more exotic nuclei, and probing into various physics phenomena at very low cross sections, one of the main limiting factors is the acquisition rate at which the detector systems can operate. Usually, the sampling rate is limited by the digital electronics' side, rather than analog detector hardware. We have integrated and adapted the MVLC Mesytec VME Controller into the standard GSI data acquisition system MBS (Multi Branch System), which is used for essentially all experiments on exotic nuclei at the fragment separator FRS. The expected goal is to enhance the acquisition rate capability by a factor 2...3. In this contribution, first results obtained with pulsed triggers and beams are discussed.
