Description

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 system. GNU Radio based SDRs are not only a better alternative to commercial DAQ solutions, but also offer a flexible and scalable solution that is much more suitable for our future experimental needs.

In this work we report on the use of RF DAQ systems in storage ring experiments, some preliminary measurements and future plans for the integration of GNU Radio based SDRs for storage ring experiments.
