Abstract
The n_TOF facility at CERN has been designed for the measurement of neutron capture, fission and (n,Ãn) cross-sections with high accuracy. This requires a flexible and-due to the high instantaneous neutron flux-almost dead time free data acquisition system. A scalable and versatile data solution has been designed based on 8-bit flash-ADCs with sampling rates up to 2Â GHz and 8Â Mbyte memory buffer. The software is written in C and C++ and is running on PCs equipped with RedHat Linux.
