Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on the design of a DAQ module for a small animal PET camera developed at our institutes. During the design an important guideline was to develop a system which is built up from strictly identical DAQ modules, and which has no built-in hardware limitation on the maximum number of modules. The developed DAQ module comprises of an LSO scintillator crystal block, a position sensitive PMT, analog signal conditioning circuits, a digitizer, an FPGA for digital signal processing and a communication module through which the collected data is sent to a cluster of computers for post processing and storage. Instead of implementing hardware coincidence detection between the modules we attach a precise time-stamp to each event in our design, and the coincidence is determined by the data collecting computers during the post processing. The digital CFD algorithm implemented in the FPGA gives a time resolution of 2 to 3 ns FWHM for real detector signals.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A commercial CMOS image sensor was irradiated with heavy ion beams in the several MeV energy range. The image sensor is equipped with a standard video output. The data were collected on-line through frame grabbing and analysed off-line after digitisation. It was shown that the response of the image sensor to the heavy ion bombardment varied with the type and energy of the projectiles. The sensor will be used for the CMS Barrel Muon Alignment system.
