  • Abstract
    The data acquisition system of the HyperCP experiment at Fermilab recorded about 50 TB of data on 12 000 tapes in 1997. The system recorded data at a sustained throughput of 12 MB/s typically and was capable of a maximum rate of 16 MB/s. The front-end electronics systems read 20 000 channels and achieved a typical readout dead time of about 3 μs per event, allowing operation at a trigger rate of 75 kHz with less than 30% dead time.
