The XENON Trigger & Data Acquisition System — •Alexey Elykov — Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

The XENON1T experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso is a liquid xenon-based ton-scale dark matter detector. The scintillation and photoionisation signals that occur in it due to particle interactions are amplified, digitised and recorded by a Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system. This system is based on commercial electronics and is equipped with custom-developed firmware. In combination with the High Energy Veto module, it can operate with high efficiency both during the acquisition of dark matter search data and throughout calibration efforts. The successor of the XENON1T experiment, XENONnT will allow us to probe new parameter space of potential dark matter candidates and long sought-after processes, like neutrinoless double beta decay. In this talk, the latest research and developments towards the construction of XENONnT TDAQ will be presented and discussed.
