“…The ProtoDUNE-SP Cold Electronics (CE) system is shown in Fig. 4 [8] [9]. The CE is mounted directly on the APAs and provides deadtime-less signal handling and transmission from the detector electrodes (indicated by the capacitive load left of the Analog Mother Board input) to the ProtoDUNE-SP Data Acquisition (DAQ) computers over optical fibers (represented by the arrows from the Warm Interface Board outside of the cryostat).…”

The liquid Argon TPC (LArTPC) technology is used in DUNE, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, to achieve its goals as the leading-edge international experiment for neutrino science and proton decay studies. The first 10 k-ton DUNE far detector module will employ wired-based anode planes with cold readout electronics (CE) installed inside the cryostat. The CE developed for cryogenic temperatures (77-89K) operation is an optimal solution that achieves excellent noise performance and decouples the electrode and cryostat design from the readout design. This paper reviews the experience of ProtoDUNE single-phase detector located at the CERN Neutrino Platform and provides an overview of the progress of the CE development, including recent results from system integration tests involving the characterization of new versions of the cryogenic ASICs and front-end motherboards mounted on small scale anode planes immersed in cryogenic liquids.

“…As shown in Figure 9, the APA sense area is about 2.8 m 2 with 2.8 m X-plane collection wires and 4.0 m U-and V-plane induction wires. It has 1,024 sense wires, can house up to 8 FEMB assemblies [10]. Following the grounding rules mentioned above, 40% APA instrumented with 4 SBND FEMB assemblies is submerged in liquid nitrogen completely.…”

The Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is one of three liquid argon (LAr) neutrino detectors sitting in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab as part of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program. The detector is in a cryostat holding 260-ton of LAr and consists of four 2.5 m (L) × 4 m (W) Anode Plane Assembles (APAs) and two Cathode Plane Assemblies (CPAs), which leads to 11,264 Time Projection Chamber (TPC) readout channels and two separate 2 m long drift regions. As an enabling technology, Cold Electronics (CE) developed for cryogenic temperature operation makes possible an optimum balance among various design and performance requirements for such large sized detectors. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been leading the R&D and implementation of the entire front-end CE system for LAr TPC readout in collaboration with other SBND institutes. The front-end readout electronics system includes the cold front-end electronics placed close to the wire electrodes, which detects and digitizes the charge signal in LAr, as well as the warm interface electronics placed on the signal feed-through flange outside of the cryostat, which further organizes and transmits the digitized signal to the DAQ system. An extensive study of electronics suitable for 77 K -300 K, including the custom designed front-end ASIC and commercial components, e.g. ADC and FPGA, has been made to meet requirements such as low noise, low power consumption, high reliability and long lifetime. Furthermore, an integral design concept of APA, CE, feed-through, warm interface electronics with local diagnostics, grounding and isolation rules has been practiced with vertical slice test stands to make projection of the CE performance in the SBND detector.
