Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods, and nonvolatile computer-readable storage devices for informing a particle event processor of a particle detector of events arising within a sensor period. The systems, methods, and nonvolatile computer-readable storage devices involve the generation of a sensor data set detected by a particle event sensor and representing the events arising within the particle detector during the sensor period. The systems, methods, and nonvolatile computer-readable storage devices also involve the compression of the sensor data set with a waveform compression technique to generate a compressed sensor data set, and the transmission of the compressed sensor data set to the particle event processor.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for recording event times in particle detection scenarios. The systems, methods, and computer-readable media involve the identification of one facility device as a grandmaster clock among at least two facility devices of a facility device set, where the respective facility devices are selected from a facility device type set including a beam monitor; a neutron instrument; a neutron chopper; a nuclear reactor; a particle accelerator; a network router; and a user workstation. The system, method, and computer-readable medium also involve configuring the facility devices to synchronize a clock component with the grandmaster clock; and, upon detecting an event, retrieve from the clock component of the selected facility device an absolute event timestamp that is independent of event times of other events, and store a record of the facility event and the absolute event timestamp in a data store.

Abstract: An electrical system for an atomic particle detection assembly includes an electrical component electrically connected to an atomic particle detection unit. The electrical system includes a dielectric insulating material surrounding the electrical component. The electrical system also includes a conductive shielding material surrounding the dielectric insulating material. The conductive shielding material and a conductive element are at substantially the same electric potential.
