| Abstract | The NA62 experiment [1] at CERN SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) accelerator will be focused on precision tests of the Standard Model via studies of ultra-rare decays of charged kaons. The high resolution Liquid Krypton (LKr) calorimeter of the former NA48 experiment [2], together with other detectors, will provide a photon-veto with hermetic coverage from zero out to large angles from the decay region. The old backend electronics [3] does not satisfy the NA62 specifications and the study of a new readout system began in 2008. This paper presents the Calorimeter REAdout Module (CREAM), an upgrade project for the backend part of the LKr data acquisition chain [3]. The CREAMs will provide 40 MHz sampling of 13248 calorimeter channels, data buffering during the SPS spill, zero suppression, and programmable trigger sums for the experiment trigger processor. |
