Data Acquisition Systems and Detector Prototypes for DUNE

深层地下中微子实验 (DUNE) 是一个下一代中微子观测站，旨在测量中微子区域的 CP 破坏。该实验由从费米实验室开始的高功率中微子束组成，由两套基于氩的探测器进行采样：费米实验室站点的近探测器复合体和南达科他州 SURF 站点地下深处的远探测器复合体。 DUNE 还将获得广泛的其他物理知识，包括中微子质量排序、大气中微子行为、超新星中微子和中微子截面。RAL 小组正在与伦敦皇家霍洛威大学联合寻找一名学生，该学生将开展研究开发近端和远端探测器通用的数据采集 (DAQ) 系统。 DAQ 系统是这些探测器的“大脑”，负责处理传入的数据流并决定记录哪些数据。学生将开发 DAQ 的控制、配置和监控系统，并在 CERN 和 SLAC 的先进原型探测器上练习这些系统，分析来自这些原型探测器的数据，以评估 DAQ 的性能并进行物理测量，这些测量将在未来几年内纳入 DUNE 测量。

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation neutrino observatory seeking to measure CP violation in the neutrino sector. The experiment consists of a high-power neutrino beam beginning at Fermilab, which is sampled by two suites of argon-based detectors: the Near Detector complex on the Fermilab site and the Far Detector complex, deep underground at the SURF site in South Dakota. DUNE will also have access to a wide variety of other physics, including the neutrino mass ordering, atmospheric neutrino behavior, supernova neutrinos, and neutrino cross sections.The RAL group is seeking a student, jointly with Royal Holloway University of London, who will carry out research developing the data acquisition (DAQ) system common to the near and far detectors. The DAQ system is the 'brain' of these detectors, processing incoming data streams and making decisions about what data to record. The student will develop the control, configuration, and monitoring systems of the DAQ and exercise these systems at advanced prototype detectors at CERN and SLAC, and analyze the data coming from these prototype detectors both to evaluate the performance of the DAQ and make physics measurements that will feed into DUNE measurements for years to come.
