The increasing development of configurable electronic systems for digital processing of signals from radiation detectors highlights the convenience of having more and more advanced equipment for support design and test of processing architectures from the hardware and firmware point of view. We propose a configurable design and test equipment that is able to emulate the detection process output on the basis of a description of detector and front-end electronics response that can be analytically calculated or experimentally measured. As case study, we fully developed the emulation of data in applications needing a precise knowledge of the time of occurrence of the events (e.g. coincidence/anti-coincidence, position detection, etc.) in strategic areas of medicine (e.g. PET imaging) such as particle physics (e.g. TDC, beam analysis).

Abstract

The increasing development of configurable electronic systems for digital processing of signals from radiation detectors highlights the convenience of having more and more advanced equipment for support design and test of processing architectures from the hardware and firmware point of view. We propose a configurable design and test equipment that is able to emulate the detection process output on the basis of a description of detector and front-end electronics response that can be analytically calculated or experimentally measured. As case study, we fully developed the emulation of data in applications needing a precise knowledge of the time of occurrence of the events (e.g. coincidence/anti-coincidence, position detection, etc.) in strategic areas of medicine (e.g. PET imaging) such as particle physics (e.g. TDC, beam analysis).
