Development of a digital trigger system to identify recoil protons at COMPASS-IIMaximilian Büchele, Horst Fischer, •Matthias Gorzellik, Tobias Grussenmeyer, Florian Herrmann, Philipp Jörg, Kay Königsmann, Paul Kremser, and Sebastian Schopferer — Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

The GANDALF framework has been developed to deliver a high precision, high performance detector readout and trigger system for particle physics experiments such as the COMPASS-II experiment at CERN. Combining the high performance pulse digitization and feature extraction capabilities of twelve GANDALF modules, each comprising a Virtex-5 SX95T, with the strong computation power of a Virtex-6 SX315T FGPA operated on the TIGER module, we present a digital trigger system for a recoil proton detector.

The trigger system was setup and commissioned successfully during a data taking period in 2012. It was mainly used for the calibration of the recoil proton detector and in tagging mode to identify proton tracks online.

Supported by BMBF and EU FP7 (Grant Agreement 283286).
