Fruizione: 20401070 ACQUISIZIONE DATI E CONTROLLO DI ESPERIMENTI in Fisica LM-17 N0 Branchini Paolo

Programme

The aim of the course is to provide the student with the general cognitive elements underlying the acquisition, control and monitoring systems of Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics experiments. The course is divided into the following topics: -Introduction to DAQ-Parallelism and Pipelining systems -Derandomization-DAQ and Trigger-Data Transmission -Front End Electronics-Trigger-Architecture Computing Systems-Real Time Systems-Real Time Operating Systems -C Language- VHDL Language-TCP / IP Network Protocols-DAQ-Architecture Building -VME Bus-Run Control-Farming-Data Archiving

Core Documentation

Lecture notes prepared by the teacher on the basis of the slides presented and available on the Moodle server:
https://matematicafisica.el.uniroma3.it

Type of delivery of the course

Lessons take place in the traditional way, in the classroom, often with the help of slides projections for data management. Only if the COVID19 emergency persists, the lessons will be held remotely through videoconferencing and collaborative activity systems. The Didactic Material is available on the Moodle server set up by the University for Mathematics and Physics: https://matematicafisica.el.uniroma3.it During the course, laboratory exercises will take place with the execution of simple examples of: - reading and data transfer systems through pipe mechanisms with concurrent processes; - signal-based trigger simulation programs; - Run Control program for activation and termination of processes; - configuration and reading of data from board on VME bus.

Type of evaluation

The exam only includes an oral test in which the student is asked for a first topic at will and then general knowledge of the various topics covered during the course is verified.
