The traditional system Neutron PSD Logic Digitization Analysis Acquisition
The FPGA based System Field Programmable Gated Array Neutron PSD, ToF, Digitization, Analysis, List Output, DECISION
The FPGASystem Field Programmable Gated Array Advantages • Cost ! Conventional System $2.5k per channel, FIND $0.5k per channel • No overhead on scaling system up • Much fewer electronic models • Reduced Data Size • Field Configurable • Commercial solution and partnership (CAEN) Initial Tests • Proved neutron PSD • Time-of-Flight • PH HPGe(same resolution) • Rates (100% Live Time) • FPGA Logic
