Data-acquisition system for a target multifragmentation experiment with large solid angle detectors
Abstract
We have developed a CAMAC data-acquisition system that is capable of handling not only high-rate interruptions, but also over one hundred inputs within a single CAMAC crate in order to perform exclusive measurements of target multifragmentation induced by 8 and 12 GeV primary proton beams on heavy nuclei. The system is run under PC-Linux and a CAMAC auxiliary crate controller. Since we have selected the UNIDAQ data-acquisition system for our DAQ software, which only uses standard UNIX technology, we expect easy migration to another platform in a future system upgrade.
