Description
The SNO+ data acquisition (DAQ) system builds upon the core electronics used in the Nobel Prize-winning SNO experiment. This poster details the complete DAQ chain, tracing the signal from raw photomultiplier tube (PMT) pulses to the final data written to disk. We describe the specific thresholds, trigger logic, and timing measurements performed by the custom electronics that remain in operation today. Furthermore, we discuss the critical upgrades implemented between SNO and SNO+ to accommodate increased data rates, improve trigger and timing resolution, and optimize the system for a liquid scintillator target
Please write a short description of your Poster and what experiment you are representing.
This poster will be presented on behalf of SNO+ and detail the DAQ electronics chain.
