A Data Acquisition System for a Beam-Tagging Hodoscope used in Hadrontherapy Monitoring
Résumé
For ion-range monitoring in Hadrontherapy, we propose a high throughput data acquisition (DAQ) system to be associated with a beam hodoscope to perform spatial and temporal labeling. The DAQ system can incorporate up to eight dedicated readout boards in parallel for adapting the resolution of the scintillating-fiber hodoscope. It also includes a μTCA board, a reference clock board and a computer. The system can be coupled with other detection systems such as Compton cameras, and collimated cameras.
