The Face Shield, made only for COVID-19 protection, can be worn directly or can be put on safety helmets. The FaceShield is developed under the CERN against COVID-19 program. More info at the Wiki page

This library provides a generic API for ADC devices, so that applications can use this API to access any of the supported ADC boards. Currently the library supports the following boards:

fmc-adc-100m14b14cha

For testing and debugging purpose it supports also a couple of virtual boards that you can use to start the development of your application.

A system to characterise large area silicon pad sensors with several hundred channels. It consists of two PCBs. One is an active switching 512-to-1 matrix. The second one is a passive probe card to contact the sensor. Hardware.

The Multigap RPC is a high precision timing and tracking detector with an active area of 25.6cm x 18.2cm and readout with 24 strips. Charged particles ionise gas in gaps between glass plates in a stack. A large electric field causes small avalanches of ionisation in each gap. The moving charges are picked up on readout strips and the timing of the charge deposition is to be read out on each side of each strip. The differential timing of the ionisation reveals the position along the strip and the precise arrival time of the particle. Multiple MRPCs can be used to measure particle time of flight (ToF). This design is based on the ALICE ToF detector and was built for the Beamline for Schools project. More info at the Wiki page

Collection of WRTD reference designs provided by (and used at) CERN

A simple 4-lane PXIe carrier for a low pin count FPGA Mezzanine Card (VITA 57). It supports the White Rabbit timing and control network. Commercially available. Labview driver available for Fine Delay and TDC mezzanines. More info at the Wiki page

High performance pulse and frequency distribution amplifier for time and frequency metrology. The pulse distribution board is an 1:8-channel (1 Hz and up) logic-level distribution amplifier, while the frequency distribution board is an 1:8-channel sine-wave (1-30 MHz) distribution amplifier. Two 1:8 boards fit side-by-sides in a 1U 19" rack enclosure, with either BNC or SMA connectors.
