Abstract

The India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is an multi institutional facility that involves the construction of a underground laboratory for the basic research in neutrino physics. The magnetized Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector is the primary experiment in this facility and is going to shed light on many important issues related to the atmospheric neutrinos. The ICAL geometry is going to utilize about 29000 single gap Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as triggering and tracking elements. The ICAL RPC will have two dimensional readout and comprising of 64 readout channels in each plane. The complete readout of the ICAL detector requires the implementation of millions of electronic readout channels. In order to cope up with enormous number of electronics channels, a multichannel based front end ASIC namely HARDROC has been tested and commissioned. The study incorporates the various calibration tests concerning the different parameters of HARDROC. Finally the first ever performance results of single gap glass based RPC using HARDROC as front end electronics are presented.
