Abstract

This paper describes a digital electronics chain prototype for the GABRIELA detector assembly. The goal of the digital algorithm is to reduce the dead time of the electronics to tens of nanoseconds without loss of energy and time resolution. The structure and temporal diagrams of the algorithm are given in the text. The paper also shows the energy resolution of the algorithm in comparison with the existing analog system and the results of the first in beam run.
