摘要： The high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility (HIAF) is a scientific research facility complex composed ofmultiple cascade accelerators of different types, which pose a scheduling problem for devices distributed overa certain range of 2 km, involving over a hundred devices. The White Rabbit (WR), a technology-enhancingGigabit Ethernet, has shown the capability of scheduling distributed timing devices but still faces the challengeof obtaining real-time synchronization calibration parameters with high precision. This study presents a calibra#2;tion system based on a time-to-digital converter implemented on an ARM-based System-on-Chip (SoC). Thesystem consists of four multi-sample delay lines, a bubble-proof encoder, an edge controller for managing datafrom different channels, and a highly effective calibration module that benefits from the SoC architecture. Theperformance was evaluated with an average RMS precision of 5.51 ps by measuring the time intervals from 0to 24000 ps with 120000 data for every test. The design presented in this study refines the calibration precisionof the HIAF timing system. This eliminates the errors caused by manual calibration without efficiency loss andprovides data support for fault diagnosis. It can also be easily tailored or ported to other devices for specificapplications and provides more space for developing timing systems for particle accelerators, such as whiterabbits on HIAF.

摘要： The High Energy Cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility is planned to launch in 2027 and scheduled to be installed on the China Space Station. It serves as a dark matter particle detector, a cosmic ray instrument, and an observatory for high-energy gamma rays. A transition radiation detector placed on one of its lateral sides serves dual purpose, (i) calibrating HERD’s electromagnetic calorimeter in the TeV energy range, and (ii) serving as an independent detector for high-energy gamma rays. In this paper, the prototype readout electronics design of the transition radiation detector is demonstrated, which aims to accurately measure the charge of the anodes using the SAMPA application specific integrated circuit chip. The electronic performance of the prototype system is evaluated in terms of noise, linearity, and resolution. Through the presented design, each electronic channel can achieve a dynamic range of 0-100 fC, the RMS noise level not exceeding 0.15 fC, and the integral nonlinearity was less than 0.2%. To further verify the readout electronic performance, a joint test with the detector was carried out, and the results show that the prototype system can satisfy the requirements of the detector’s scientific goals.
