| Abstract |
In the frame of the DETNI project a 32-channel ASIC suitable for readout of a novel 2D thermal neutron detector type based on a hybrid low-pressure Micro-Strip Gas Chamber (MSGC) with solid 157Gd converter has been developed. Each micro-strip and ASIC channel delivers position information, a fast time stamp of 2 ns resolution and the signal amplitude. The time stamp T is used for correlating the signals from the X and Y strips with low chance coincidence rate while the amplitude E is used for finding the centre of gravity of a cluster of strips. The T and E information are stored in derandomizing buffers and read out via a token ring architecture. |
