TL;DR: The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva).

TL;DR: The LHCb Outer Tracker is a gaseous detector covering an area of 5 x 6 m(2) with 12 double layers of straw tubes, and the performance of the readout electronics and the single hit resolution and efficiency are presented in this article.

TL;DR: The LHCb Outer Tracker as mentioned in this paper is a gaseous detector covering an area of 5x6 m2 with 12 double layers of straw tubes, and the performance of the readout electronics and the single hit resolution and efficiency are presented.

TL;DR: An overview of the front-end electronics used to readout the drift-times of the LHCb Outer Tracker straw tube chambers can be found in this article, where the main functional components of the readout are the ASDBLR ASIC for amplication and signal digitization, the OTIS ASIC for the time measurement and for the L0 buering, and the GOL ASIC to serialize the digital data for the optical data transmission.

TL;DR: The Outer Tracker Front End electronics provide the precise (0.5 ns) drift-time measurement, at an average occupancy of 5% and at a 1 MHz trigger rate as discussed by the authors.
