15. The White Rabbit project

Mr Daniluk Grzegorz (CERN)

02/06/2014, 14:05

White Rabbit (WR) is a multi-laboratory, multi-company collaboration for the development of a new Ethernet-based technology which ensures sub-nanosecond synchronization and deterministic data transfer. It was initiated at CERN to provide a successor of the currently used General Machine Timing system for the accelerator complex. The project uses an open source paradigm for the development of...

20. Applying WR to facility-wide timing and control in FAIR

Wesley Terpstra (GSI)

When the GSI facility is expanded to eight ring and two linear accelerators for the FAIR project, a new control system will be deployed. In contrast to the existing system where coordination is achieved by broadcasting a start event, the new system schedules actions to be executed at a specified absolute timestamp, accurate to better than a nanosecond. GSI will deploy more than 200 WR...

4. The HiSCORE concept and project status

Dr Martin Tluczykont (University of Hamburg)

02/06/2014, 15:05

The HiSCORE concept is an air shower front sampling experiment based on non-imaging wide angle air Cherenkov detectors, each with a light collection area of the order of 0.5 m^2, and distributed over a large area of 1-100 km^2. The large field of view of 0.6 sr allows to cover pi sr of the sky for more than 200 hours per year. The Cherenkov pulse amplitudes and their timing provides a...

19. WhiteRabbit based time synchronization for Tunka-HiSCORE

Mr Martin Brückner (Humboldt-Universität)

02/06/2014, 15:25

The Tunka-HiSCORE detector is a non-imaging wide-angle EAS Cherenkov array for gamma-ray astronomy above 10 TeV. Time synchronization to nsec level of all sensor stations distributed over several km2 is a key issue for precision reconstruction of shower directions. For the Tunka-HiSCORE prototype array, a White Rabbit based approach has been installed. We describe hardware components, their...
