Description
The Short Baseline Near Detector is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) composed of a variety of subsystems which each help collect different data elements. The TPC itself uses a wire-based readout to collect drifted ionization electrons. In conjunction with this charge readout system, there is also a photon detection system (PDS) composed of two methods of scintillation light detection, traditional PMTs and SiPM-based X-ARAPUCAs. The experiment also uses a cosmic ray tagger (CRT) made of solid scintillator strips; a dedicated system which handles the management and issuing of trigger signals; and a timing system that coordinates all of these components. In order to facilitate steady physics quality data taking, the data acquisition system (DAQ) must be fully developed and vigorously tested. Integrating all subsystems to run simultaneously, with synchronized timing and sufficient data throughput is a key aspect of commissioning the detector.
