The Mu3e DAQ build system and CI — •Alexandr Kozlinskiy for the Mu3e collaboration — Johann-Joachim-Becher-Weg 45, 55128 Mainz, Germany
The Mu3e experiment is designed to search for the lepton flavor violating decay µ+ → e+e−e+ with the aim of reaching a branching ratio sensitivity of 10−16. The experiment is located at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland). The existing beam line will provide 108 muons per second and at first will allow to reach a sensitivity of a few 10−15.
The readout system of Mu3e uses Intel FPGA chips for which the firmware and IP components are compiled with the Quartus software. To improve the development and testing of the Mu3e DAQ firmware, custom scripts were developed to build firmware directly from the command line. The continuous integration is used to build and test the firmware on each commit. This allows for faster development of firmware and tracking of regressions during development.
The talk will cover the scripts, tools and the design of the Mu3e DAQ build system.
