Performance of the 1.5*10^5 front-end electronics channels of the ARGO-YBJ experiment
Abstract content
By using an 8-channel custom chip in GaAs technology, over 1.5*10^5 front-end electronics channels were built, tested and installed in the resistive plate chambers (RPCs) of the ARGO-YBJ experiment. These channels were designed to obtain 1 ns time resolution over about 6000 m^2 of sensitive area. Here we present the design features, the performance and the results during a long operational time at an altitude of 4300 meters a.s.l.
