FEA Project Overview

Under Construction !!

The FCS is a central part of the data aquisition system of the HERA-B experiment. It provides

  • the distribution of the Bunch Crossing Pulses (every 96 ns) to more than 250 crates along the detector with high accuracy (jitter and skew < 500 ps)
  • the filtering, sorting and distribution of the information generated by the First Level Trigger
  • the handling and distribution of the Slow Control Commands like starting and stopping of runs, fine tuning of the timing signal delays, etc.
  • the generation of statistical information and histograms about the accepted and rejected events
  • different test features to generate triggers and test pulses to control the functioning of the data aquisition modules
