Readout Electronics for CBM-TOF Super Module Quality Evaluation

A super module assembled with MRPC detectors is a component of TOF (Time of Flight) system for the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment. Before the super modules are applied to CBM-TOF, their quality needs to be evaluated. The readout electronics is confronted with a tremendous challenge of transmitting data at the maximal speed of 6 Gbps. In this paper, the readout method for CBM-TOF super module quality evaluation is presented. A parallel architecture based on the Gigabit Ethernet is designed to meet the requirement for data transmission rate. First, the data is sent from the front-end electronics to four readout module groups via optical fibers at the maximal rate of 1.5 Gbps per fiber. Next, the data are further distributed to sixteen parallel daughter readout models so that the maximal data throughput of each daughter readout module is 375 Mbps, within its capacity of 550 Mbps. Finally, the readout daughter modules send data to the data acquisition (DAQ) software through standard Gigabit Ethernet. The proposed readout method has the advantage of good scalability, so it can meet different requirements for variable data rate. The preliminary test result shows that each of four parallel readout groups can transmit data at the speed of 1.6 Gbps, which indicates that the overall readout system can meet the requirement for the maximal data-transmission speed of 6 Gbps.

Tungsten Boride: a 2D Multiple Dirac Semimetal for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Here, we propose a two-dimensional tungsten boride (WB4) lattice, with the Gibbs free energy for the adsorption of atomic hydrogen, tending to be the ideal value of 0 eV at 3% strained state, to host a better hydrogen evolution reaction activity. Based on first-principles calculations, it is demonstrated that the multiple d-p-pi and d-p-sigma Dirac conjugations of WB4 lattice ensures its excellent electronic transport characteristics. Meanwhile, coupling with the d-orbitals of W, the p-orbitals of borophene subunits in WB4 lattice can modulate the d band center to get a good HER performance. Our results not only provide a versatile platform for hosting multiple Dirac semimetal states with a sandwich configuration, but also offer a guiding principle for discovering the relationship between intrinsic properties of the active centre and the catalytic activity of metal layer from the emerging field of low-dimensional noble-metal-free lattices.

Electronic properties of a $π$-conjugated Cairo pentagonal lattice: Direct band gap, ultrahigh carrier mobility and slant Dirac cones

Two-dimensional (2D) lattices composed exclusively of pentagons represent an exceptional structure of materials correlated to the famous pentagonal tiling problem in mathematics, but their $π$-conjugation and the related electronic properties have never been reported. Here, we propose a tight-binding (TB) model for a 2D Cairo pentagonal lattice and demonstrate that $p$-$d$ $π$-conjugation in the unique framework leads to intriguing properties, such as an intrinsic direct band gap, ultra-high carrier mobility and even slant Dirac cones. On the basis of first-principles calculations, we predict a candidate material, 2D penta-NiP$_2$ monolayer, derivated from bulk NiP$_2$ crystal, to realize the predictions of the TB model. It has ultra-high carrier mobility ($\sim$$10^5-10^6$ $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$) comparable to that of graphene and an intrinsic direct band gap of 0.818 eV, which are long desired for high-speed electronic devices. The stability and possible synthetic routes of penta-NiP$_2$ monolayer are also discussed.

Data Acquisition Software for CBM-TOF super module quality control

The time-of-flight (TOF) system in the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is composed of super modules based on multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) for high-denseness, high-resolution time measurement. In order to evaluate the quality of detectors during the mass production, a distributed data readout system is developed to meet with the high data rate of 6.4Gbps, and a related data acquisition (DAQ) software is implemented under Linux operating system to test and verify the feasibility of the distributed data readout method. In this paper, the DAQ software is focused on data collection, event building, status monitoring and system controlling. Laboratory tests confirmed the function of the DAQ software and show that the overall data transfer rate of a single data transmission path can reach up to about 550Mbps which already meet the demand.
