Nuclear Fragmentation measurement for Particle Therapy with FOOT experiment

The repository

This repository contains some material on which I have been working in these months together with my thesis supervisor (Dr. Luca Galli). As the trigger manager, he is teaching me many interesting aspects regarding the acquisition trigger of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target).

Topics

The topics range from hadrontherapy to the revelation of charged ions; from FPGAs, Wavedream, and acquisition systems to board firmware and Verilog language.

Keywords

• Nuclear Physics
• Nuclear Fragmentation
• Particle Therapy
• Space radiation protection
• Data acquisition system (DAQ)
• Wavedream board
• Trigger system

Useful links

• FOOT
• CNAO
• INFN
• CSN3
