Sb. Galagedera et al., THE TIMING AND CONTROL-SYSTEM OF THE ZEUS TRACKING DETECTOR DATA-ACQUISITION ELECTRONICS, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 41(4), 1994, pp. 1255-1259
The very high spatial resolution required by the Zeus Tracking Detecto
rs and the 96ns periodic interaction between protons and electrons of
the Hera collider require real time Analogue Signal Digitization at 10
4MHz controlled reliably to tight tolerances. Maximum event readout ef
ficiency, fast monitoring of run time errors and testability of front
end electronics require pipelining, speed and flexibility. Such an ele
ctronic Timing and Control System (TCS) is operational within three ma
in inner detectors of the ZEUS detector and is presented in this paper
.
