KALYPSO: a 1D Detector for High-Repetition Rate Experiments at Light Sources

KALYPSO is a 1D imaging detector with 10 MHz frame-rate developed for high repetition-rate xperiments, such as electro-optical beam pro le measurements with sub-ps resolution at ANKA and Eu-XFEL. KALYPSO consists of a Si or InGaAs microstrip sensor coupled to a front-end readout, integrated with an FPGA readout card. A Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) sensor is being developed to improve the time resolution. A DAQ framework transmits data to external GPU-based clusters, where data is processed in real-time at 7 Gbytes/s and a latency in the order of a few μs. We describe the system and the experimental results.
