A FADC-based Data Acquisition System for the KASCADE-Grande Experiment
Abstract
We present the design and first test results of a new FADC-based data acquisition (DAQ) system for the Grande array of the KASCADE-Grande experiment. The original KASCADE experiment at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany, has been extended by 37 detector stations of the former EAS-TOP experiment (Grande array)to provide sensitivity to energies of primary particles from the cosmos of up to 1018 eV. The new FADC-based DAQ system will improve the quality of the data taken by the Grande array by digitizing the scintillator signals with a 250 MHz sampling rate. events per second. Two Grande stations have been equipped with the FADC-based data acquisition system and first data are shown.
