Title: A data acquisition system for HV-CMOS sensor research and development in the upgrade of ATLAS experiment

Abstract

In the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade of ATLAS experiment in 2026, the new inner tracker detector will be installed. As a promising candidate for the outer layer of the inner tracker detector, the High Voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) pixel sensors are being investigated by the ATLAS collaboration. A Front-End LInk eXchange (FELIX) based Data Acquisition (DAQ) system is developed for the R&D of the HV-CMOS sensors. A FELIX card with PCIe interface in the back-end is used to control, monitor, calibrate and read out the front-end electronics. In the front-end, a Xilinx evaluation board ZC706 works as the interface between the back- end and custom boards with HV-CMOS sensors and the readout ASIC. In conclusion, the DAQ system was successfully deployed for the testbeam experiment at CERN. Design of the DAQ system, the tuning of sensors and testbeam results will be described in details.

High Voltage CMOS sensors are a promising technology for tracking detectors in collider experiments. Extensive R&D studies are being carried out by the ATLAS Collaboration for a possible use of HV-CMOS in the High Luminosity LHC upgrade of the Inner Tracker detector. CaRIBOu (Control and Readout Itk BOard) is a modular test system developed to test Silicon based detectors. It currently includes five custom designed boards, a Xilinx ZC706 development board, FELIX (Front-End LInk eXchange) PCIe card and a host computer. A software program has been developed in Python to control the CaRIBOu hardware. CaRIBOu has been used in themore »« less

The High Voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) sensors are extensively investigated by the ATLAS collaboration for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade of the Inner Tracker (ITk) detector. The HV-CMOS technology is a commercial integrated circuit process with the advantages of monolithic readout and fast charge collection. A front-end test platform of CaRIBOu (Control and Readout Itk BOard) and a testbeam Telescope based on the ATLAS IBL (Insertable B-Layer) silicon pixel modules, have been developed for the HV-CMOS sensor study and characterization in testbeam experiments.

Testbeam results of irradiated ams H18 HV-CMOS pixel sensor prototypes

Journal Article Benoit, M. ; Braccini, S. ; Casse, G. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

HV-CMOS pixel sensors are a promising option for the tracker upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, as well as for other future tracking applications in which large areas are to be instrumented with radiation-tolerant silicon pixel sensors. We present results of testbeam characterisations of the 4^th generation of Capacitively Coupled Pixel Detectors (CCPDv4) produced with the ams H18 HV-CMOS process that have been irradiated with different particles (reactor neutrons and 18 MeV protons) to fluences between 1×10¹⁴ and 5×10¹⁵ 1–MeV– n_eq. The sensors were glued to ATLAS FE-I4 pixel readout chips and measured at the CERN SPS H8more »« less

Development of a High Throughput PCIe Card for DAQ System in the ATLAS and DUNE Experiments

Journal Article Chen, K. ; Tang, S. ; Chen, H. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

In the Run 3 upgrade of ATLAS experiment, the FELIX (Front-End LInk eXchange) system has been prepared as the interface between front-end electronics and common Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems. Based on a PCIe card hosted in commodity server, FELIX's flexibilty makes it has also been adopted by other experiments, such as the Single-Phase ProtoDUNE (Prototype for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment), sPHENIX and CBM experiments. The same PCIe based architecture is proposed for use in the ATLAS HL-LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider) upgrade and the DUNE experiment.

Radiation hardness studies of AMS HV-CMOS 350 nm prototype chip HVStripV1

Journal Article Kanisauskas, K. ; Affolder, A. ; Arndt, K. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

CMOS active pixel sensors are being investigated for their potential use in the ATLAS inner tracker upgrade at the HL-LHC. The new inner tracker will have to handle a significant increase in luminosity while maintaining a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio and pulse shaping times. This paper focuses on the prototype chip "HVStripV1" (manufactured in the AMS HV-CMOS 350nm process) characterization before and after irradiation up to fluence levels expected for the strip region in the HL-LHC environment. The results indicate an increase of depletion region after irradiation for the same bias voltage by a factor of ≈2.4 and ≈2.8 for twomore »« less
