ALICE:

A Large Ion Collider Experiment

Pour l’expérience ALICE, le LHC fera entrer en collision des ions plomb afin de recréer en laboratoire les conditions qui régnaient juste après le Big Bang. Les données obtenues permettront d’étudier l’évolution de la matière de la naissance de l’Univers à nos jours.

Performance improvement & new fonctionnalities

Current code improvement:

- Hard real-time & L1 trigger rejection dead-time improvement (12µs

instead of 25µs)

- Detector restart reliability improvement after data taking emergency

stop

- Detector readout self-diagnosis after data taking

Preparing future developments:

- Study of an hardware architecture relying on

rSoC* in FPGA ALTERA ARRIA II Gx in order to

improve the detector readout dead-time.

Radiation Hardening:

- Installation online monitoring setup on 1 CROCUS

in muon tracker to investigate DSP’s flux sensitivity

NARVAL: a

distributed

system for

management of high-performance

data stream

tending to a collection efficiency of 100% of

events.

- Possibility of

processing data stream online & in parallel

- Towards a development of

building blocks

to enable

optimization when reusing them (memory and network -

Common Bricks with ENX). This is particularly important in the

case of

"multi-detectors"

- The whole set ("data acquisition" + "control - command") is

then seen through a unified interface via "SOAP"

- Ease of development for distributed elements via Annex E of

Ada (through AdaCore support)

AGATA - DAQ Acquisition System

It includes :



the data stream from the

front-end electronic (FEE)

to the DAQ.



The pulse shape analysis

(PSA farm)



The event builder system

(EB)



The tracking

reconstruction



The data archiving in a

transient storage system

or/and to a permanent

storage system.

The DAQ system also

includes software packages

performing the overall

control of the system: Run

control, data monitoring,

system performance

monitoring, and

configuration system. It

also includes management

software for farm

infrastructure.

The Orsay group is in charge of the

development of the DAQ acquisition

system for the demonstrator and the final

configuration of Agata. Narval has been

adopted for the data stream management
