IEEE : Large-Scale DAQ Tests for the LHCb Upgrade

To increase the event yield, the LHCb experiment will undergo a major detector upgrade planned during the second long shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider (2019-2020). The new data acquisition has to process the whole 40-MHz input event rate, relying only on the large-scale computing farm implementation of the high-level trigger. Event fragments will be forwarded at 40 MHz from the detector front...
