Abstract

Recent developments in micro-pattern gas detector technologies have considerably broadened the interest in this type of detectors, extending their application field from high-energy physics to nuclear, astrophysical, geophysical, medical or industrial applications, to name just a few. Historically, for the wide range of gas amplification schemes available, there has been an almost equally wide amount of electronic readout solutions, tailored on just one application, making it rather difficult for newcomers to employ the technology. Developed within RD51 Collaboration for the Development of Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors Technologies, the Scalable Readout System (SRS) is intended as a general purpose multi-channel readout solution for a wide range of detector types, and detector complexities, as well as for different experimental environments.
