J. et al and Gadea, A. and Barrientos, D. and Huyuk, T.", title="Design and Test of a High-Speed Flash ADC Mezzanine Card for High-Resolution and Timing Performance in Nuclear Structure Experiments", journal="IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science", year="2013", volume="60", number="5", pages="3526--3531", abstract="This work describes new electronics for the EX-OGAM2 (HP-Ge detector array) and NEDA (BC501A-based neutron detector array). A new digitizing card with high resolution has been designed for gamma-ray and neutron spectroscopy experiments. The higher bandwidth requirement of the NEDA signals, together with the necessity for accuracy, require a high sampling rate in order to preserve the shape for real-time Pulse Shape Analysis (PSA). The PSA is of paramount importance for the NEDA to discriminate between neutrons and gamma-ray signals. Both high resolution and high speed parameters are often difficult to achieve in a single electronic unit. These constraints, together with the need to build new digitizing electronics to improve performance and flexibility of signal analysis in nuclear physics experiments, led to the development a new FADC mezzanine card. In this work, the design and development are described, including the characterization procedure and the preliminary measurement results.", optnote="WOS:000325827700015", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1613), last updated on Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:42:47 +0000", issn="0018-9499", doi="10.1109/TNS.2013.2281241", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/TNS.2013.2281241" }
