FRIB SOLARIS Collaboration

The collaboration focuses on the development of the DAQ for the SOLARIS spectrometer.

proposed schematics

The DAQ system will be contained within a private network provided by the Netgear nighthawk wifi router and a 16 ports 10Gb/s switch with a total data capacity of 320 Gb/s. The 16 ports switch is chosen for adding more digitizers in the future. The DAQ computer will be a rack server Dell R7525 with 2 CPU (total 32 core with 64 thread), 64 GB RAM, and a lot of storage. The primary mission of the DAQ computer is to control and readout the digitizer. It is also served as the database and achieves data server (also for background parallel data analysis). The DAQ will be protected by a UPS unit with 2700W and 8 outlets, sufficient to provide power for the DAQ computer, the Crate, the HV supply, and other devices. The DAQ computer (2U), the router (1U), the HV supply (8U), the Crate (8U), and UPS (2U) will be in one rack of 25U (StarTech.com 25U Open Frame Server Rack). Finally, there will be a Mac for remote control and analysis. I suggest a Mac studio (Apple M1 Max chip 10-core) and a 49-inch-wide screen monitor (Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9).

FSU SOLARIS DAQ

The basic of the DAQ is the FSU DAQ.

The FSU SOLARIS DAQ contains the following ingredients:

• DAQ program (extension from the FSU DAQ)
• Database
• Online analysis code
• HV controller
• Target fan controller
