Introduction to the AIDA2020 project and the WP5 (Data acquisition system for beam tests)
What is AIDA-2020?
The AIDA-2020 project brings together the leading European research infrastructures in the field of detector development and testing and a number of institutes, universities and technological centers, thus assembling the necessary expertise for the ambitious programme of work.

WP5: Data acquisition system for beam tests
Visit the AIDA2020 WP5 webpage.
AIDA-2020 is divided into 15 Work Packages. A Work Package (WP) is a unit of work within the project. The WPs are theoretically independent but they were defined in order to foster synergies in AIDA-2020.
Objectives
- Specification of interfaces and provision of a control and timing system to allow multiple detectors to be linked together.
- Develop a central data acquisition software and run control to enable multiple detectors to be combined in one experiment.
- Develop monitoring systems to automatically check the data quality.
- Develop a system to monitor the environmental conditions, such as temperature, of several detectors.
- Define an event for online data where data is combined from detectors with very different signals and properties.
