Abstract :
PH (Petersburg/Harvard) is a Russian/American gamma-ray detection system for use in nuclear structure studies, initially consisting of 2 clusters of hexahedron BGO detectors with the coupling of each crystal with a photomultiplier. The essential feature of the experimental conditions for PH is the necessity to provide a very fast data acquisition. For the purpose of physics it is necessary to collect Gygabytes of formatted data with 1 MEvents-to-memory at the cluster´s level. The ultra-high throughput spectroscopy channel is a building block of the PH data acquisition system at the cluster level. It is implemented in VXI C-size standard. All hardware is controlled via VXI bus
