A MIDAS-based Data Acquisition System for Gaseous Detectors

Instrumentation and Detectors 2026-04-14 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

We present a data acquisition~(DAQ) software based on the MIDAS framework, specifically for gaseous detectors to support the detector deployments and applications. It implements a comprehensive suite of functions, including parameter configuration, data acquisition, decoding, and storage, alongside web-based operation and real-time monitoring capabilities. We establish a fully unified workflow spanning data acquisition to offline analysis, enabling real-time visualization of signal waveforms and energy spectra. The system has been successfully deployed in the PandaX-III experiment, which utilized a high-pressure gaseous detector to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. Its performance and stability have been validated through tests involving two distinct electronics setups and joint commissioning with the detector.
