Synergy Group for Front-End Electronics and Data
Acquisition (SGFD)

• Synergy Group for Front-End Electronics and Data
  Acquisition (SGFD)
• Scope The idea of a SGFD has been developed
  during common meetings of people working on
  front-end electronics and data acquisition within
  SPIRAL2, NUSTAR/FAIR and LEGNARO. The synergistic
  approach offers some significant benefits
• It overcomes problems caused by the limited
  capacities and scarce expertise in the field of
  ASIC development and manufacturing for nuclear
  physics applications.
• It provides the strongly overlapping user
  communities with common user interfaces and data
  structures for DAQ systems and controls.
• It makes the most effective use of the limit
  scientific and engineering manpower dedicated to
  DAQ and controls tasks.
• With this letter, we approach the boards of the
  above listed collaborations and facilities to
  formally establish a SGFD and to provide the SGFD
  with the mandate to recommend areas of RD to the
  various working groups on instrumentation. The
  SGFD will seek to establish the necessary
  organization for the implementation of this
  common RD. In addition, SGFD will seek and
  recommend common technological solutions in the
  areas of front-end electronics and data
  acquisition. To allow for a functional group, the
  members are expected to perform studies and
  development.
