Computer applications in nuclear and particle physics experiments

Masaharu Nomachi

University of Osaka, Osaka, Japan

Particle and nuclear physics experiments has intensively used computers. A brief history of the evolution on trigger and data acquisition will be presented, followed by some conceptual architectures for the future experiments. Those systems are designed to efficiently extract interesting physics from huge amount of background in frontier of experimental physics. Modern state-of-the-art read-out architectures and technologies will be reviewed. Nowadays, they are applied to other fields from security scanners, severe nuclear accident monitoring instrumentation to medical imaging systems like Positron Emission Tomography and particle therapy.
