Data Acquisition Systems in Nuclear Physics: Architectures and Challenges

by Matthieu Bezard (Digital Electronics Engineer — GTA group)

Modern nuclear physics experiments require data acquisition systems capable of handling high data rates, precise timing, and large numbers of channels. This seminar reviews common data acquisition architectures, from front-end electronics to event building and storage, and discusses key challenges such as throughput, trigger strategies, FPGA-based processing and synchronization solutions.
