| Abstract | The WaveDREAM data acquisition (DAQ) system, based on the DRS4 switched capacitor array waveform digitizing chip, provides Giga-samples per second (GSPS) digitization in a region of interest together with continuous sampling of the input signals at 120 Mega-samples per second (MSPS). In the Field-programmable gate array (FPGA), the 120 MSPS signal can be used to build arbitrarily complex trigger logic and to perform real-time data analysis with hard real-time constraints in the microseconds range. As an application example, the system is configured and optimized for the readout of an array of high-pressure 4He fast neutron detectors. At each end of the detector, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) collect and amplify the light. Variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) scale the PMT signals such that they optimally fit into the dynamic range of the DRS4 integrated circuit (IC). The trigger in the FPGA employs a coincidence logic between the two PMT signals of a detector to effectively filter out PMT dark counts. Real-time data analysis includes energy deposit measurements and a pulse shape discrimination (PSD) algorithm to reject events originated by gamma radiation, thus greatly reducing the data rate to be processed offline. The high-resolution GSPS signal from the DRS4 IC is used to obtain precise event timing information, thereby enabling neutron time of flight (ToF) measurements with nanosecond time precision. In addition, this signal can be used during offline data processing to strengthen the analysis results. Thus, the WaveDREAM DAQ provides both efficiency (real-time data analysis) and precision (GSPS signal for offline analysis) at low cost. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
