1. 1 Status of Front-end Unification DAQ Meeting at Belle-II Meeting 7-JUL-09 Gary Varner

2. 2 Today’s Update Since March meeting: –Discussion in Beijing (RT09 at IHEP) –Action/inaction on part b Continued (TARGET, BLAB2 eval) –Specifying KLM needs (Si-PM gain) –System timing limitations for PID  BLAB3 Giga-bit link test results, plans

3. 3 Proposed Common Approach for Belle++ Refining Proposal

4. 4 Common protocols User code?

5. 5 What about the Front end? Waveform sampling “everywhere”?

6. 6 Possible ASIC Options (presented previously) TARGET2 TARGET2a (?) BLAB3 Future?

7. 7 User Feedback TARGET KLM – Si-PMs Dmitri Liventsev (ITEP)Jerry Va’vra (SLAC)

8. 8 Baseline System Components BLAB3 is 8 channels, each 64k samples deep <~1us to read out 32-samples hit/BLAB3 Photo- Sensor BLAB3 MCP MAIN FINESSE CARD x4 COPPER FIFO Giga-bit Fiber Photo- Sensor x4 Focusing on these prototypes – results next time

9. 9 Links are a crucial element

10. 10 Concerns about rad hardness:proposal Proposed to run test link In KEKB tunnel (installed Mar.)  Reprogram rate  Fiber link degradation Significant cost and performance benefit if can use commercially available components. One option is to qualify them. In tunnel (rad area simulating expected CDC/PID dose) ~25 m Fiber link Monitor continuously BER remotely (loopback of pseudo-random pattern)

11. 11 xTOP Readout Baseline System Components BLAB3 is 8 channels, each 64k samples deep <~1us to read out 32-samples hit/BLAB3 Photo- Sensor BLAB3 MCP MAIN FINESSE CARD x4 COPPER FIFO Giga-bit Fibers Photo- Sensor x4 Testing this part

12. 12 Test Location Near Oho-side of Belle endcap, Ring outside direction, on Shielding wall Fiber link runs Through existing Cable tray infrastructure and to loss monitor rack in room below

13. 13 Concurrent Monitoring 2x Aminogray (integral radiation dose) Virtex-2 Pro FPGA w/ Rocket I/O Giga-bit Fiber Transceiver Existing coaxial loss monitor (instantaneous dose)

14. 14 “COPPER” end USB2 connection to Monitor PC Same transceiver board as test side Giga-bit Fiber

15. 15 Monitoring Station DAQ machine Thanks, John! Local error logging, accessible remotely via KEKB network Write alternating pattern of 1’s and 0’s (~130k RAM bits, 8k Reg bits total) Wait 1 second, then read back Check pattern for corruption Log number of bit errors seen

16. 16 Monitoring Details Stop/restart program about every 3-7 days (~2MB/day) Local error logging, accessible remotely via KEKB network Since start of beam, ~1M write/read cycles No bit errors seen (bug fixed, tested) BER <~10 -11

17. 17 First induced errors Number of bits error ~0.4% of events No RAM bit errors

18. 18 Constant pattern ~0.4% of events No RAM bit errors ~May 10 (00:18)

19. 19 Rad-test Summary Ran fine through end of Experiment 69 (1x RAM bit errors) since successful re-program [4.37M events] Errors probably isolated to a subset of FPGA firmware -- cleared by power cycle Concern about voltage regulators (replace for autumn run?) Goal: need to address radiation hardness concerns soon  perhaps OK; ~11.6kRad (10.8kRad/12.5kRad) Did power cycle (and subsequent firmware reload) on May 17

20. 20 Plans Front-end prototypes fabricated and gaining experience with operation; trying to address questions Prototypes of a version of “unified readout”  COPPER: (FIN_DSP, UFO, USO) in development Instrument xTOP prototype; upgrade fDIRC, HI-TIDE readout set-ups (system timing, online processing) 1.BLAB3 (PID) ASIC fabrication in August 2.TARGET2 almost same (with amp), KLM 3.Manpower limit for CDC ASIC version

21. 21 Back-up slides

22. 22 Hit Processing latency Assume: 100kHz charged track hits on each bar ~32 p.e./track (1% of 100ns windows) 30kHz trigger rate Each PMT pair sees hits 240k hits/s Each BLAB3 has an average occupancy <1 hit (assume 1) 400ns to convert 256 samples 16ns/sample to transfer At least 16 deep buffering (Markov overflow probability est. < 10 -38 ) Each hit = 64samples * 8bits = 512bits  ~125Mbits/s (link is 1.2Gb/s ~ x10 margin) BLAB3 ASIC 8 Trans-Imp Amps 64 x 1k samples Per channel Fast conversion Matrix (x256) BLAB3 sampling Improvements based upon Lessons learned from BLAB2 Plan to model in standard queuing simulator, but looks like no problem (CF have done same exercise with Jerry Va’vra for 150kHz L1 of SuperB and can handle rate)
