Eos: DAQ and Slow-control Systems of a Hybrid Detector

Eos is a collaboration of twenty-four institutions and will be built at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory . The EOS detector is an R&D platform designed to combine scintillation and Cherenkov light, two neutrino detection methods. This hybrid technology will allow future neutrino detectors to search across a broader range of the energy spectrum. Detection of neutrinos allows us to study hidden aspects of the universe using electromagnetic measurements. This is true for such things as the inside of our Sun, planet, or galactic center. The California State University Stanislaus group is contributing to the development and deployment of the Eos Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Slow Control Systems (SCM). Results from Eos will guide the development of large-scale low background neutrino observatories such as Theia, which is currently in the design phase. This hybrid technology will give future neutrino detectors greater sensitivity across a spectrum of neutrino energy and increase signal to background ratio for time-based particle identification.
