The MEG II experiment at PSI requires a new TDAQ system with stringent demands. About 9000 channels of waveform digitizing in the GHz range must be combined with SiPM biasing, preamplification and flexible triggering in a limited space. The new WaveDAQ system fulfils these requirements by introducing a new compact crate system which combines gigabit serial links in a dual-star topology with...

The DSSC (DEPFET Sensor with Signal Compression) collaboration develops a hybrid pixelated X-ray photon detector with high frame rate and immediate amplitude digitization for experiments at the European XFEL.
We present measurements with the first full format 14.9x14mm² pixel readout ASIC for the DSSC detector. The DSSC system is able to record megapixel X-ray images with a frame rate of 4.5...

During the second long shutdown of LHC the ALICE experiment will undergo a major upgrade. As part of this program the current Inner Tracking System (ITS) consisting of six layers of silicon detectors (two pixel, two drift and two strips) will be replaced with a new device comprising seven layers of pixel detectors. The increase to 50 kHz of the peak interaction rate of Pb-Pb collisions, which...

SAMPIC is a Waveform and Time to Digital Converter (WTDC) 16-channel chip (AMS 0.18-µm CMOS) which directly measures the arrival time of fast analog signals without the need of any external discriminator. Each channel associates a traditional DLL-based TDC providing a raw time based on a counter and a DLL with an ultra-fast 64-cell deep analog memory (bandwidth > 1.5 GHz, sampling rate >...

The LHCb experiment will undergo a major upgrade during the second long shutdown (2018 - 2019), aiming to let LHCb collect an order of magnitude more data with respect to run 1 and run 2.
The maximum readout rate of 1 MHz is the main bottleneck of the present LHCb trigger. The upgraded detector foresees apart from major detector upgrades, a full readout into the DAQ, running at the LHC bunch...

The Level-1 calorimeter trigger (L1Calo) operated successfully during the first data taking phase of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Based on the lessons learned, a series of upgrades is planned for L1Calo to face the new challenges posed by the upcoming increases of the LHC beam energy and luminosity. The initial upgrade phase in 2013-15 includes substantial improvements to the analogue and...

A new CMS Tracker is under development for operation at the High Luminosity LHC from 2025. It includes an outer tracker based on ``PT-modules'' of two different types which will construct track stubs using spatially coincident clusters in two closely spaced sensor layers, to reject low transverse momentum track hits and reduce the data volume before data transmission to the Level-1 trigger....

The aim of the GAP project is the deployment of Graphic Processing Units (GPU) in real-time applications, ranging from high-energy physics online event selection (trigger) to medical imaging reconstruction. The final goal of the project is to demonstrate that GPUs can have a positive impact in sectors different for rate, bandwidth, and computational intensity.
