Read-out electronics

To diminish the read-out time of the present RD26 system, based on the GASSIPLEX chip, more parallelism in the data flow has to be achieved. The design of a 16-channel MCM-DIGITPLEX printed-circuit board which has been asked to CERN will follow the existing 64 channel version. After prototype tests, the work of assembling the electronics for the whole detectors can be commissioned, starting from July 97.

Mainz has asked for funding the electronics of RICH2. Trieste plans to fund the electronics for RICH1.
