Abstract :
The n_TOF facility at CERN has been designed for the measurement of neutron capture, fission and ( n , × n ) cross-sections with high accuracy. This requires a flexible and—due to the high instantaneous neutron flux—almost dead time free data acquisition system. A scalable and versatile data solution has been designed based on 8-bit flash-ADCs with sampling rates up to 2 GHz and 8 Mbyte memory buffer. The software is written in C and C ++ and is running on PCs equipped with RedHat Linux.
