    The European GNU Radio Days '24 are hosted at GSI/FAIR, a research-centre using particle accelerators to investigate the “Universe in the lab”. I will motivate why we use particle accelerators and how they work. The focus being on the reasons behind the layout of the many ring accelerators in our present and future research facility.

    Software Defined Radio, streaming digitized IQ samples over a network, provides the framework for creating a distributed coherent network of receivers or emitters with the ability to locate (trilateration) or steer (electronic beam steering) the recorded and emitted signals over long baseline, assuming the transceivers are synchronized. Long range time and frequency distribution over Gb...

    gr4-packet-modem is a packet-based modem application that is being implemented from scratch for GNU Radio 4.0. The goal of this project is twofold: it serves as a use case to test and benchmark the GNU Radio 4.0 runtime in a realistic digital communications application, and it provides an example of a full system that users will be able to study and customize to their needs. The modem uses...

    Non-destructive Schottky detectors can be used to accurately determine the masses and lifetimes of exotic nuclei and their isomeric states in heavy ion storage rings. Single-ion sensitivity has been regularly achieved in the past using resonant cavity detectors. Recent detector designs and analysis methods aim to push the limits of measurement accuracy. A key component is the data acquisition...
