Abstract :
We propose a fast acquisition and elaboration system in order to process signals coming from Drift Chambers. The system is made of an analog Front End, designed in our laboratory for signal acquisition and a Demo Board by Texas Instruments for data elaboration. The Front End electronics is a multistage amplifier board based on high performance commercial devices. Texas Instruments board includes an Analog to Digital Converter and a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) in order to implement algorithm for Cluster Counting and Timing purposes.
