The waveform digitiser of the Double Chooz experiment : performance and quantisation effects on photomultiplier tube signals
| Summary: | Abstract: We present the waveform digitiser used in the Double Chooz experiment. We describe the hardware and the custom-built firmware specifically developed for the experiment. The performance of the device is tested with regards to digitising low light level signals from photomultiplier tubes and measuring pulse charge. This highlights the role of quantisation effects and leads to some general recommendations on the design and use of waveform digitisers |
