Introduction
Task 4 of the DRD3 focuses on developing next-generation readout systems that optimize data acquisition and transfer from solid-state detectors. This effort is essential for handling the high data volumes and stringent timing requirements in modern particle physics experiments. In liaison with DRD7, which specializes in on-detector processing electronics, Task 4 aims to ensure that readout architectures are seamlessly integrated with advanced electronic ASICs, enhancing both data precision and reliability. This task addresses the unique challenges of high-energy physics by designing adaptable and high-performance readout solutions for future detectors.
