GET Project Objectives• Develop for Nucl. Physics :- Full Data Acquisition system for

– Active Targets(Target = Gas). Nucl. Spec & Astrophys. with Radio active Beams – TPC Exotique Decay & EoS with RABs Require– Low detection thresholds (A,Z, E, The, Phi) for slow ions ( below 300KeV),– Dynamic range (~Z²), – High Luminosity & Solid Angle,– Effective Internal TPC Trigger,– Gas & pressure (H2, D2, 3He, He … )– Different detector Systems,– Pad density (25-100 pads/cm2)

• Opportunity to develop a generic /reconfigurable system approach for Nucl. Phys. to cover medium size systems (256 – 32K channels).

This is an experimental system
