31. 31 Stewart Boogert Laserwire DAQ and software ● Complex problem – Essentially many single channels of a “normal” high energy experiment ● CCDs : monitor laser beam size ● BPM : electron beam position ● Scanner : optics control and fast scanning ● Calorimeter – Control and DAQ proving to be challenging ● Lots of effort on technical level

32. 32 Stewart Boogert DAQ structure ● Examples of individual component readout – Each component responds to simple messages over TCP/IP – Data stored locally and merged later for analysis – Wide range of rates and data volumes are problematic ● Future – Valuable experience for future laserwire experiments – Dedicated VME readout for experiments at ATF BPM CAL CCD Local control Control room TCP/IP

43. 3rd September 2004 G. Blair, RHUL43 Summary Laser-wire project is very active RA, Students working across detector R&D, accelerator physics, DAQ, optics, lasers, analysis, design – in a truly global environment. PETRA laser-wire is being better understood – look forward to “routine” fast data taking… need more dedicated PETRA runs. PETRA laser will be replaced, new vacuum vessel, DAQ … ATF laser-wire is being planned and first designs are being studied. Global collaboration will form, both at ATF and at PETRA – discussions currently underway. New people joining the collaboration, starting in Autumn 2004. Additional major effort in beam diagnostics simulation and incorporation into BDS (and other regions) design. Room for wider collaboration and synergy – polarimetry, longitudinal profile, energy spectrometry.
