Microprogrammable sequencers modular system contribution to data acquisition and filtering in particle physics
Description
This thesis describes the interest of using microprogrammable microprocessors for on-line triggering and event filtering in high energy physics experiments. The first part is used to analyse this problem and to show the principal difficulties. The second part describes our solution, which consist of adding in the initial informatic structure a great transfer and treatment capability by a multiprocessor architecture, suitable to each experiment. The third part is dedicated to the description of our fast processor GESPRO and of its software tools specially written for this realization. Performances obtained are then given. The last part is used to detail the results obtained since 1975 on two experiments (WA2 and NA10) on the SPS of CERN at Geneva.
Abstract (French)
Cette these a pour but de montrer l'interet de l'utilisation de microprocesseurs microprogrammables en acquisition et en filtrage d'evenements de physique des particules hautes energies. La premiere partie est consacree a l'analyse du probleme et a la mise en evidence des principales difficultes. La deuxieme partie decrit la solution retenue. Cette derniere consiste a inserer dans la structure informatique initiale une grande efficacite de transfert et de traitement des donnees au moyen d'une architecture multiprocesseur a intelligence repartie, adaptable a chaque experience. La troisieme partie decrit en details le processeur GESPRO, les outils logiciels concus pour cette realisation, ainsi que les performances obtenues. La derniere partie est consacree a l'analyse des resultats obtenus depuis 1975 sur deux experiences (WA2 et NA10) au SPS du CERN a Geneve.Files
