The detector is based on a PMT plane for energy measurements and a SiPM tracking plane for topological event filtering. The experiment will be located in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in Spain. Front-end electronics, trigger and data-acquisition systems (DAQ) have been built. The DAQ is an implementation of the Scalable Readout System (RD51 collaboration) based on FPGA. Our approach for trigger is to have a distributed and reconfigurable system in the DAQ itself. Moreover, the trigger allows on-line triggering based on the detection of primary or secondary scintillation light, or a combination of both, that arrives to the PMT plane.", optnote="WOS:000312962500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1288), last updated on Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:05:56 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/7/12/C12001", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/7/12/C12001", language="English" }
