Development and Tests of Python-based Control Software for a EUDET-type Beam Telescope at the ELSA Test Beam Area — •Rasmus Partzsch, Christian Bespin, Yannick Dieter, Jochen Dingfelder, Fabian Hügging, and Lars Schall — Physikalisches Institut, Nußallee 12, 53115 Bonn, Germany

Test-beam telescopes are reference tracking devices used to investigate the performance of detector prototypes. The EUDET-type beam telescope consists of six MIMOSA26 pixel detector planes. These feature a small pixel pitch (18.4 um) to enable a high spatial resolution for particle tracks. A time-reference plane is added to the ANEMONE beam telescope to provide precise timing information for individual particle tracks. The detectors are synchronized with a trigger logic unit (AIDA-TLU). One of the main requirements of the test-beam infrastructure is flexibility to accommodate different types of devices under test and different experimental setups. This flexibility applies not only to the hardware setup but also to the control software, detector readout, and analysis tools. A new Python-based control software has been developed for the control of the AIDA-TLU, implementing various trigger logic configurations and communication modes for different devices.

In this talk, the Python-based control software for a EUDET-type beam telescope setup is presented. Additionally, test results using an ATLAS ITkPix chip, designed for the ATLAS inner tracker upgrade, as the time reference plane, along with the AIDA-TLU control software at trigger rates of up to 100 kHz at the ELSA test-beam area, will be discussed.
