TRITON and TILDA - Universal Control and Data Acquisition in Collinear Laser Spectroscopy Experiments. — •Simon Kaufmann for the TRIGA-SPEC collaboration — Institut für Kernchemie Mainz

TRIGA pyThon cONtrol system (TRITON) and TRIGA-Laser Data Acqusition (TILDA) are custom developments for the collinear laser spectroscopy (CLS) experiment TRIGA-Laser. The TRIGA-Laser experiment is a prototype for the LaSpec experiment at the low energy branch at the upcoming FAIR facility [1]. Situated at the research reactor TRIGA Mainz the TRIGA-Laser experiment benefits from the possibility to create short-lived nuclides by neutron-induced fission of a heavy actinide target, e.g. ²⁴⁹Cf. In order to efficiently operate and control the setup, we have developed TRITON which is custom-built for the slow controls of our experiment. This will be completed by TILDA which will be responsible for the fast experiment control as well as time resolved data acquisition. The time resolution is necessary due to the bunched ion beam structure. Core of TILDA will be two field programmable gate arrays (FPGA)in a PXI rack. Modularity in TRITON and in TILDA is keeping both as flexible as possible and it is foreseen to use them in other CLS-setups like ALIVE and LaSpec. While TRITON is fully operational already, a prototype of TILDA with a small PCI-based FPGA was tested during commissioning.

TRITONs and TILDAs main features, specifications and status will be presented.
