  • Abstract
    This paper presents the new readout system of the Liquid Krypton calorimeter detector, which is part of the NA62 experiment [1] veto system. The system is based on the new Calorimeter REAdout Module (CREAM) board, developed by CAEN under the supervision of the CERN NA62 group; it will be able to provide a very precise measurement of the electromagnetic energy released by particles inside the detector, as well as to sustain the demanding trigger rates required by the NA62 experiment. As of June 2014, the system is under commissioning in order to have it fully working by the start of NA62 data-taking in October 2014.
