NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH. SECTION A, ACCELERATORS, SPECTROMETERS, DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
Abstract
Owing to a change in the scope of physics research, the AMBER spectrometer at CERN is undergoing an update on its instrumentation and trigger strategy for the data acquisition system. One of the key updates is the adoption of a free-running and trigger-less operation, which differs from the predecessor of AMBER, COMPASS, by working in a continuous mode but in an event-based triggered way.
