This is information related to beam tests done in support of the ML-FPGA R&D for EIC project.

Overview

The beam test will use a GEM detector and a small calorimeter behind one arm of the pair spectrometer in Hall-D. The setup will use two FPGA's, one for each detector, to process triggered data from the DAQ and send it into a JANA2 process. The downstream JANA2 process will run some algorithm on the data (proof-of-principle) and write the output to a file.

Project Phases

Phase 1:

  • Single detector readout (calorimeter)
  • CDAQ, no FPGA
  • JANA2 JStreamingEventSource with direct reading of TCP socket

Phase 2:

  • Single detector readout (calorimeter)
  • CDAQ, with FPGA
  • JANA2 JStreamingEventSource with direct reading of TCP socket

Phase 3:

  • Two detector readout
  • CDAQ, with FPGA
  • JANA2 JStreamingEventSource with direct reading of TCP socket, simple event building

Phase 4:

  • Two detector readout
  • CDAQ, with FPGA
  • ERSAP backend with event building
  • JANA2 algorithm
  • ERSAP Event Recorder
