Fpga Implementation Of Diamond Detector Data Acquisition System Using Flexrio Pxiexpress Technology: Architecture And First Results

The present paper describes the architecture and the performances of a diamond detector data acquisition system based on PXIexpress (one of the standards suggested by ITER). Performances have been evaluated by feeding the digital acquisition system with pulses generated by a digital detector emulator replicating the shape and energy distribution expected for a Single Crystal Diamonds (sCD) neutron detector in deuterium-tritium plasmas.
