The syndrome coding technique and its application to fast event selection in high-energy physics experiments
- Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna (Russian Federation)
The problems in the use of the theory and practice of algebraic coding theory for data compression and processing in multichannel charged-particle detectors are discussed. A system of analogies between the theories of correcting codes and hodoscopic systems is described. The main result of this approach is the development of radically new logic units, such as parallel encoders for t > 1 signals, majority coincidence circuits for a large number of inputs, dynamically programmable modules, and special-purpose processors with algebraic structure based on elements of the Galois field GF(2{sup m}) for fast event selection. It is also shown how calculations in Galois fields can be used to design dynamically programcontrolled logic modules, which appear promising for use in trigger systems.
