Users of the FMC DEL 1ns 4cha card.

The FMC DEL 1ns 4cha or "Fine Delay" card can be used in many ways. If you use the cards, please inform me about it.


Known users

  • CERN (Switzerland)
    • Beam Transfer system (TE-ABT-EC)
      • A PXI-based low-level control system for the fast pulsed magnets in the CERN PS Complex., J.Schipper et al. ICALEPCS 2013. Abstract

    • LHC Instability Trigger Distribution project - LIST (T.Wlostowski, July 2014)
    • LHC, replacement of dual-delay cards (CERN-only link)
    • Production Test System of Fine Delay Mezzanine FMC TDC 1ns 5cha
  • DLR (German Aerospace Center, Institute for Technical Physics)
    • Laser ranging to space-debris objects (Jan 2015)
  • Fermilab, USA
    • The Short Baseline Neutrino Physics program (SBN) at Fermilab aims to perform sensitive searches for νe appearance and νμ disappearance in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) using three LAr TPC detectors: SBND (Near Detector), MicroBooNE and ICARUS (Far Detector) located respectively at 110/470/700 meters from the primary target & magnet horns enclosure.
    • WR network for distributing a common pps GPS-locked to the beam target and the detector halls;
    • use of 2 FMC-TDCs, at the BNB and NuMI beam target halls, for time-stamping both the “early warning" and effective beam extraction signals, and distribute these time stamps to the detector halls through WR network;
    • use of 2 FMC-FineDelay, at the detector halls, to generate beam gate windows for triggering on the basis on the beam extraction time stamps, and possibly to generate the clocks for the readout electronics from the pps.
      • This WR network will be the first WR implementation on North America. (D.Torretta, 3/2017)
  • GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (GSI, Germany)
    • FAIR accelerator Timing, used with WhiteRabbit timing network (Feb 2013)

* MIKES (Centre for metrology and accreditation, Finland) (July 2013)

  • Evaluating WR for comparison and synchronization of geographically distant atomic clocks

  • Use FMC DEL 1ns 4cha card to:

## Timestamp a PPS-input which comes from a clock (Cs or H-maser)

## Delay the timestamped PPS and output a delayed PPS (based on aging-model for clock), with PPS and 10 MHz outputs based on WR-time.

  • SPring-8 (Japan) (Nov 2014)
    • An evaluation system for a new trigger and tag information distribution system using White Rabbit.
  • Many others, often used in combination with White Rabbit.
