DAMA Infrastructure

The DAMA Laboratory is located in the ground floor of the INPP Tandem building and occupies an area of about 60 m2. The main infrastructure is shown below:

THREE FULLY EQUIPPED TEST BENCHES FOR STUDYING MPGDs

  • Gas distribution,
  • Electronics Racks with NIM modules, HV modules, preamplifiers, amplifiers etc
  • Oscilloscopes
  • Workstations
  • Radioactive sources
 

GAS MIXER and distribution of premixed gases

ELECTRONICS AND DAQ SYSTEMS

  • VME Data Acquisition (CAEN controller, optical fiber connection
  • CRAMS, sequencer, ADC unit, Gate generator, etc)
  • SRS - Scalable Readout System (APV FE, 2000 channels readout)
  • FEMINOS readout for TPC mode
  • Electronics: Racks (1 VME and 4 NIM crates), NIM units
  • (Multifunction NIM modules, Amplifiers, Discrim., HV, LV PS
  • Pulse generators, NIM/ TTL/ NIM converter etc), MCAs (2), Preamps
