New solutions for data acquisition and analysis at FRIB

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a world-leading user facility for the study of rare isotope beams using the in-flight fragmentation method. The unprecedented potential discovery of a modern rare isotope beam facility, such as FRIB, can only be realized by implementing state-of-the-art experimental equipment capable of studying these isotopes at a high beam rate and high performance. The increase in complexity of experimental setups and triggered data rates introduced the opportunity to upgrade the supported data acquisition (DAQ) and data analysis frameworks, and more in general, the computing capabilities to sustain both online and offline analysis at speed that let the experimenters make decision in real time. Hardware and software solutions are being explored and new tools have been developed. This talk will summarize the state of the art of the DAQ system at FRIB and directions for the future.
