Abstract
N
$\nu $
DEx is an upcoming neutrino-less double-beta decay experiment. A first small-scale prototype, named N
$\nu $
DEx-100, features a readout plane with a 0.9 m diameter situated at one end-cap of its time projection chamber (TPC). This plane hosts around 10000 charge measurement sensors requiring dedicated readout electronics. This paper introduces the prototype design of the readout electronics and its integration with the back-end data acquisition (DAQ) system, which is composed of dedicated firmware and software to handle the system control and data readout. In the front-end, the demonstration system is developed to house 19 sensors along with the necessary supporting circuitry. The functionality and performance of the entire demonstration system with Topmetal-S sensors are evaluated, and the ion measurement capability of the system has been confirmed by tracking particles irradiated from the 241Am

期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
