Readout chain for high-resolution hadronic calorimeters with silicon photomultipliers

Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, ATLAS Group / CALICE / ILC

Diploma thesis of Dr. Andree Welker: a one-year delivery of a 1 m, 12-layer PCB with four FPGAs as Link Data Aggregator. He designed and programmed board and firmware, populated the board, sent manufacture out for speed, took it to first beamtime, and analysed the data, turning thousands of data cables into one Ethernet link. That year is why the nuclear-physics doctorate was a direct next step.
