Abstract

The ZEUS detector at HERA must have a fundamentally different trigger and data acquisition structure than other existing colliders. A pipelined structure is required because of the short (96 ns) bunch crossing interval, and the presence of a high, proton-related background. A beam-gas event rate > 10 kHz is expected in the vicinity of the detector. The trigger and data acquisition pipelines for the calorimeter are described. A custom integrated circuit is required for the data acquisition pipeline, and both a CCD and a switched capacitor design effort is described.
