  1. 296. The electronics readout and data acquisition system of the KM3NeT Neutrino Telescope Node
    Mr Diego Real (IFIC)

    Photodetection and Readout
    The KM3NeT neutrino telescope will be composed by tens of thousands of glass spheres (nodes) including each 31 of small photocathode (3''). The readout and data acquisition system of KM3NeT has to collect, treat and send to shore, in an economic way, the enormous amount of data produced by the photomultipliers and at the same time to provide time synchronization between each...

    Photodetection and Readout
    The KM3NeT-Italy Collaboration has entered the production stage of an 8 tower apparatus that will be deployed at about 100 km away from the Sicily coast. The architecture of the system is based on the NEMO Phase-2 prototype tower that is taking data since the deployment in March 2013. In order to optimize production costs, power consumption, and usability some components have...

  3. 307. 1 ns Time to Digital Converter for KM3NeT Data Readout System
    Mr David Calvo (IFIC)
    05/08/2013, 14:40
    Photodetection and Readout
    Time to Digital Converters (TDCs) are a very common devices in particle physics experiments. In the case of KM3NeT, thirty-one 1-ns resolution TDCs are used in order to discretize the photomultiplier output. The TDC has been embedded on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). An architecture with low resources occupancy has been used allowing the implementation of other...

  4. 311. Long-term optical background measurements in the Capo Passero deep-sea site
    Dr Maria Grazia Pellegriti for the Nemo collaboration (INFN-LNS)

    Photodetection and Readout
    In March 2013, the Nemo Phase II tower has been successfully installed at Capo Passero, Italy, at 3500 m depth. The 8-floor tower hosts 32 10-inch PMTs. Results from the last 3-months background measurements will be presented. In particular, the analyzed rates show stable and low baseline values, compatible with the contribution of 40K light emission, with a small percentage of...
