Global Level AGATA Electronics and Data Processing • Logical structure is layered: – Preamplifiers Digital Preamplifier – Digitizers – Segment level processing – Energy, (Time) – Detector level processing – Trigger, Time, PSA – Global level processing – Event builder, g-ray tracking, Software trigger, Storage • Architecture should reflect this fact AGATA Electronics and Data Processing • Fully Synchronous System: – Central (100 MHz) clock – Time stamp (48 bit clock counter) to tag samples – Hierarchical distribution of clock and tag ‡ detectors (clock & tag) ‡ segments (clock) ‡ ancillary detectors (clock & tag) • Based on (180) independent detector systems deriving their local trigger from Ge common contact • Total data readout and software trigger when possible • Global Level hardware trigger when needed • Data Processing on dedicated HW and farms of PCs • Our goal is to hide the complexity of the data processing and provide the users of AGATA with “classical” data sets Structure of WG and tasks of teams • T1: Global Clock and Trigger – Definition and implementation. Strongly coupled with LLP (and ancillary detectors) • T2: DAQ “HW” – Farm Infrastructure (+ farms for PSA?); Event Builder • T3: DAQ “SW” – Run Control; Data Storage • T4: Conceptual Design – MC simulations and choice of configuration • T5: g-ray Tracking – Algorithms and On-Line Tracking Time scale of developments (to be updated at the end of this meeting) • T1: One year for first prototypes. Clock (and Trigger) needed to test LPP electronics • T2: Start working on event builder with simulated data. GLP farm not needed before 2-3 years • T3: Start working on GUI, in conjunction with slow control. Track technology for data storage • T4: Now. Orders of asymmetric capsules, foreseen to start in 2004, depend on selected geometry, • T5: Couple of years. Real data will not be available soon. Time to improve algorithms. Scope of the meeting

• Exchange of ideas among the experts • Definition of teams and identification of possible team leaders. The final organization will be decided at next AMB meeting • Concrete plans on how to proceed should be presented to the AGATA community at the first
