HIRFL-CSR外靶实验读出电子学预研系统

本文介绍了兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环(HIRFL-CSR)外靶实验读出电子学预研系统的设计。该系统可实现TOF墙探测器、中子墙探测器、多丝漂移室(MWDC)等的读出。基于前沿定时及使用TOT技术分别进行时间和电荷测量,从而对前沿定时带来的时间-幅度游走效应进行修正。该系统基于工业智能仪器总线PXI进行设计,提高了数据传输带宽,并保证了系统的可扩展性。目前已完成基本单元模块的实验室电子学测试,以及与探测器的初步联合测试,验证了各项功能指标。     

基于CORDIC的精确快速幅相解算方法

针对传统CORDIC算法进行高精度幅度相位解算时迭代次数过多、时延较长、相位收敛较慢等局限,提出了一种基于最佳一致逼近方法的幅度与相位补偿算法,即利用传统CORDIC算法迭代一定次数后得到的向量信息,采用最佳一致逼近方法对幅度和相位分区间进行一阶多项式补偿,有效提高了计算精度.仿真及实测结果表明,对传统CORDIC算法4次迭代后的结果进行补偿,幅度相对误差可达到10^-5量级、相位绝对误差可达到10^-5度量级,最大输出时延不大于100ns.在使用部分专用乘法器的条件下,寄存器消耗降低了42.5%,查找表消耗降低了15.5%.采用该补偿算法,每多一次CORDIC迭代其相位精度可提高约一个数量级.因此,本文提出的补偿CORDIC算法在迭代次数、计算精度等方面优于传统CORDIC算法,适合于高精度计算的场合.     

A 16-Channel high-resolution time and charge measurement module for the external target experiment in the CSR of HIRFL

High precision time measurement is required in the readout of the neutron wall and TOF walls in the ex- ternal target experiment of the Cooling Storage Ring （CSR） project in the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou （HIRFL）. Considering the time walk correction, both time and charge are measured in the readout electronics. In this 16-channel measurement module, time and charge information are digitized by TDCs at the same time based on the Time-Over-Threshold （TOT） method; meanwhile, by employing high-density ASIC chips, the electronics complexity is effectively reduced. Test results indicate that this module achieves a time resolution better than 25 ps and a charge resolution better than 5% over the input amplitude range from 50 mV to 3V.
