The design of a custom front-end electronics for the readout of the new inner tracker of the BESIII experiment, carried out at BEPCII in Beijing, is presented. For the upgrade of the inner detector, planned for 2018, a lightweight tracker based on an innovative Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) cylindrical detector is now under development. The analogue readout of the CGEM enables the use of a...

The upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) scheduled for shut-down period of 2018-2019, referred to as Phase-I upgrade, will increase the instantaneous luminosity to about three times the design value. Since the current ATLAS trigger system does not allow sufficient increase of the trigger rate, an improvement of the trigger system is required. The Liquid Argon (LAr) Calorimeter read-out...

To accommodate high-luminosity LHC operation at 13 TeV collision energy, the CMS Endcap Muon Level-1 Trigger system had to be significantly modified. To provide the best track reconstruction, the trigger system must now import all available trigger primitives generated by Cathode Strip Chambers and by certain other subsystems, such as Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). In addition to massive...

The TPC is placed in the center of a Multi Purpose Detector comprising the interaction point of colliding beams together with other central detectors that provides the recovery and identification of charged particle tracks in the pseudorapidity’s range |η|≤ 1.2 in future NICA collider experiments.
The readout system is one of the most complex parts of the TPC. The electronics of each readout...

Static RAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (SRAM-based FPGAs) [1, 2] are widely adopted in Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) systems of High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments for implementing fast logic due to their re-configurability, large real-time processing capabilities and embedded high-speed serial IOs. However, these devices are sensitive to radiation effects such as single event...

The Belle II experiment, at the future SuperKEKB collider in Tsukuba, Japan, features a design luminosity of $8\cdot 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$, which is a factor of 40 larger than its predecessor KEKB. The pixel detector (PXD) with about 8 million pixels is based on the DEPFET technology and will improve the vertex resolution in beam direction by a factor of 2. With an estimated trigger rate...

The imaging Time of Propagation (iTOP) detector is a new quartz Cherenkov radiation detector to work at the Belle II experiment. The iTOP will identify, with high precision, charged hardons created in electron-positron collisions at the SuperKEKB collider. With its timing resolution of less than 50 ps, the iTOP will help searching for rare and previously unobserved physics events while...

A new T0/Trigger detector based on multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC) technology has been constructed and tested for the exteranl target experiment (ETE) at CSR. It measures the multiplicity and timing information of particles produced in heavy-ion collisions at the target region, providing necessary event collision time (T0) and collision centrality with high precision. Monte-Carlo...

Very recently, significant interest in crystal scintillators with KPtCl$_6$ structure has been renewed since they possess a high light yield, linear response at low energies, and good energy resolution. Cs$_2$HfCl$_6$ (CHC), in particular, a crystal belonging to the same structure group, is one of the most promising scintillator for gamma spectroscopy giving almost 54000 ph/MeV light yield and...
