LoKI is a SANS instrument that will enable scientists to answer the challenging materials science questions of tomorrow in fields from health and aging, to sustainability and energy security. One of the first instrument concepts to be proposed and moved into construction, LoKI will be part of the early science programme at ESS.
Read MoreNuclear Instruments designed the readout system for a novel 2D detector used for neutron transmission measurements on the VESUVIO experiment at the ISIS Facility (UK). The detector is based on a thick GEM and features 384 readout pads (channels). The readout architecture consists of a series of distributed boards, each equipped with a Kintex-7 FPGA implementing 64 TDCs with a resolution of 0.5 ns, double-hit resolution of 4 ns, and 64-bit timestamping. Each FPGA interfaces with four GEMINI ASICs, which provide the analog front-end processing.
