Abstract: In nuclear and particle physics experiments, due to the influence of the experimental background and detector noise, the experiment needs to pick out valid physical events by the trigger selection, and eliminate the background noise. Aiming at the trigger selection requirements based on hit multiplicity (NHit) in the cases of high event rates in physical experiments, this paper designs a high-performance digital trigger circuit. This circuit has 13 high-speed serial communication interfaces, which support optical fiber data transmission and Gigabit network communication; onboard 32 Gbit DDR4 cache and high-end FPGA to support large-capacity high-speed storage and real-time data processing. Based on this circuit, the real-time hardware NHit trigger algorithm could be run, which could realize fast trigger selection and data readout for the front-end data. At the same time, the circuit is easy to expand and could be flexibly used in different physical experiments. After testing and verification, the transmission rate of one single optical fiber interface could reach 8.125 Gb/s, the uplink transmission rate of SiTCP could reach 949.3 Mb/s, and the actual read and write rates of the DDR4 cache could reach 102.6 Gb/s, which meet the data transmission and caching requirements of digital trigger circuit design.

    核與粒子物理主要研究原子核內(nèi)部及以下層次的微觀結(jié)構(gòu),為研究粒子間相互作用,人們通過數(shù)量龐大的探測器陣列和電子學(xué)設(shè)備對實驗物理現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行觀測[1-2]。物理實驗采用觸發(fā)判選機制來濾除實驗本底與探測器噪聲,通過觸發(fā)系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計從前端原始信息中篩選出有效物理事例,從而降低后端數(shù)據(jù)傳輸與緩存壓力。

    核與粒子物理實驗中的觸發(fā)判選技術(shù)主要有模擬硬件觸發(fā)、無硬件觸發(fā)、數(shù)字硬件觸發(fā)三種方式。早期實驗的觸發(fā)系統(tǒng)因技術(shù)限制,通常使用模擬硬件觸發(fā)方式提取前端信號特征參量并進(jìn)行觸發(fā)判選,如中國原子能院GTAF譜儀[3],這些觸發(fā)系統(tǒng)大多專用且固定,具有一定死時間,無法適應(yīng)物理實驗高事例率的發(fā)展需要。隨著數(shù)據(jù)傳輸處理能力的快速提高,壓縮重物質(zhì)實驗[4]、反質(zhì)子湮滅實驗[5]、大型高海拔宇宙線觀測站[6]等實驗開始采用無硬件觸發(fā)的數(shù)據(jù)讀出方法,將前端所有數(shù)據(jù)傳輸至后端,由后端高性能計算單元進(jìn)行觸發(fā)判選,但對所有數(shù)據(jù)不加區(qū)分的讀出給讀出系統(tǒng)與數(shù)據(jù)獲取系統(tǒng)帶來了更大的設(shè)計壓力與資源消耗。近年來在某些實驗上,如反角白光中子源GTAF-II譜儀[7]、江門中微子實驗[8],逐漸開展了基于FPGA實時硬件的全數(shù)字化硬件觸發(fā)技術(shù)研究,充分利用FPGA并行處理能力強和實時性高的優(yōu)點,對原始數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行實時的觸發(fā)判選與數(shù)據(jù)篩選。
