GRETINA Design
• 7 modules of 4 crystals each
• 6 x 6 external segmentation
• Covers ≈ 1π steradian solid angle (to
•
•
cover 4π will take 30 modules - GRETA).
Modules can be placed at 58.3º (4), 90º
(8), 121º (4), and 148º (5 positions) .
On-line processing gives g-ray energy
and position.
Gretina DAQ (I)
Each of the 28 crystals has:
• Separate VME backplane and IOC
• Slow control in EPICS
• Reads & timesorts digitizer data
• Passes data to compute cluster
• 4 LBNL Digitizer Modules
• 10 channels (9 segments + core)
• 1 Flash ADC / ch, 14bit 100MHz
• On-board FPGA filters
• Leading Edge
(trigger primitive)
• Energy (trapezoid)
• Pole-zero correction
• Baseline Restoration
• Event data includes:
• Timestamp
• Filter data
• Waveform subset

GRETINA leading edge timing
GRETINA ‘t0’ timing:
This timing quality is available as
prompt signal (~200 ns latency) for
a trigger logic.
This timing quality is available
after decomposition, i.e. in the
data analysis.

Closed packed configuration
• Source data collected
with all modules in one
hemisphere in a closepacked configuration.
• More crystals are
surrounded by other
crystals, thus this
configuration more
closely approximates
GRETA.
• Analysis of this data
will improve
understanding of the
geometry dependence
of GRETINA
performance.
