An Improved Algorithm for On-Chip Clustering and Lossless Data Compression of HL-LHC Pixel Hits
/ Baruffa, Giuseppe (Perugia U.) ; Placidi, Pisana (INFN, Perugia ; Perugia U.) ; Di Salvo, Andrea (INFN, Turin ; Polytech. Turin) ; Marconi, Sara (CERN) ; Paternò, Andrea (INFN, Turin ; Polytech. Turin)
A prototype chip, called RD53A, has been designed by the RD53 collaboration to face the very high hit and trigger rate requirements (up to 3 GHz/cm$^2$ and 1 MHz, respectively) of the High Luminosity LHC experiment upgrades. In this paper, an improved algorithm for data compression, capable of sustaining the very high data volume and proposed to be implemented in the periphery of the chip, is presented: it exploits Run Length Encoding (RLE) and Variable Length Coding (VLC) to compact chip pixel hit patterns.

The FOOT FragmentatiOn Of Target Experiment
/ Alexandrov, Andrey (INFN, Naples) ; Alpat, Behcet (INFN, Perugia) ; Ambrosi, Giovanni (INFN, Perugia) ; Argirò, Stefano (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Battistoni, Giuseppe (INFN, Milan) ; Bisogni, Maria Giuseppina (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) ; Belcari, Nicola (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) ; Biondi, Silvia (INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U.) ; Bruni, Graziano (INFN, Bologna) ; Camarlinghi, Niccolò (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) et al.
In proton-therapy clinical practice a constant RBE equal to 1.1 is adopted, regardless of the demonstrated RBE variations, which depends on physical and biological parameters. Among other mechanisms, nuclear interactions might influence the proton-RBE due to secondary heavier particles produced by target fragmentation that can significantly contribute to the total dose: an un-wanted and undetermined increase of normal tissues complications probability may occur.

Performance evaluation of digital pixel readout chip architecture operating at very high rate through a reusable UVM simulation framework
/ Conti, Elia (CERN) ; Marconi, Sara (CERN ; U. Perugia (main) ; INFN, Perugia) ; Hemperek, Tomasz (Bonn U.) ; Christiansen, J⊘rgen (CERN) ; Placidi, Pisana (INFN, Perugia ; Perugia U.)
A large scale demonstrator pixel readout chip is currently being designed by the RD53 Collaboration, with the goal of proving the suitability of 65 nm technology for the extreme operating conditions associated to the High Luminosity upgrades of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. The VEPIX53 simulation and verification environment was developed in order to support the chip design flow at different steps, from architectural modeling and optimization to final design verification, thanks to the flexibility and reusability of System Verilog and the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) library.

A large scale pixel readout chip is being designed by the RD53 Collaboration, in order to prove the suitability of 65 nm technology for the extreme operating conditions foreseen for the High Luminosity upgrades of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN. The use of advanced digital design and simulation tools is essential to guide architectural and implementation choices for the design and optimisation of pixel chips which will be powered from a serial powering scheme.
