Competence domain (PH-ED)

What field of expertise ED can provide?

System electronics design

1. Front-end detector electronics

analog circuits, data conversion and digital front-end processing, chip design

2. Trigger electronics

primitive extraction from detector data and trigger algorithms

3. Interface to data acquisition electronics

serial links, data concentration, event formatting and buffering

4. Interface to controls

custom and standard field busses for system configuration and monitoring

5. General electronics infrastructure

power/gnd distribution, system interconnection, PCB/hybrid development, system integration

6. Stand alone r/o systems for test installations

general purpose devices for unit characterization and system tests

basic software routines for laboratory and test beams

How ED contributes to experiments?

Electronics support to ALICE and LHCb

electronics coordination

system architecture definition (specs from physics requirements, high level simulation)

functional design coordination (collaboration within CERN or institutes, project management)

system and device implementation

device characterization and test (functional, perform. optimization and rad tolerance)

mass production management, system integration and commissioning

follow up for installation and operation support

ALICE technical support until first full energy ion beam

Future support to other activities as resources become available

1) contribution to projects for LHC experiment upgrading (e.g. Alice Pixels & TPC, LHCb Velo)

2a) R&D for future applications (pending approval by management, EUDET)

2b) participation to next common system developments

NOTE:

Group structure evolved from past.

Comparison with 1998:

Cat 2 = 4 staff

Cat 3 + Cat 4 = 10 staff

Important to secure the present “trained” expertise.
