Designing and constructing Trigger System for Hyper Nuclei Scattering Experiment

The hyper nuclei scattering experiments with Hi-Resolution Kaon and Electron spectrometers at Jefferson Lab utilize detection systems that involve a series of particle detectors connected to flash Analog-to-Digital Converters that convert analog signal from the detectors to digital signal which is then processed in Field Programmable Gate Array chips. This project aims to prepare trigger systems that comb through this data, detect where and when an event was registered, and try to locate a corresponding signal in the opposite detector while also avoiding false triggers or noise. To achieve this, a high-level synthesis software, Vitis, is used to program the chips to perform the complex logical sequences that would process data streams from the detectors and yield the event sample. Progress was made on the software and is currently in the testing phase with hardware implementation. This trigger system should significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of trigger decisions. It also offers the field of physics a robust tool for real-time data analysis and improves the accuracy of data acquisition in nuclear physics experiments
