Abstract

Abstract : The KamLAND-Zen experiment is searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 136 Xe. We are preparing for the upgrade of the KamLAND detector, KamLAND2. It is designed to improve the discrimination power of two-neutrino double-beta decay and cosmic-ray muon spallation backgrounds. Data acquisition of all neutrino events from nearby supernova is also an important issue of the KamLAND2 experiment and the data rate is a key factor to design a new DAQ system. High speed sampling will be realized with RFSoC on the front-end electronics. Data is read out from FEE to DAQ computers via 10 GbE, and FairMQ is one of the candidates for KamLAND2 DAQ software. In the KamLAND DAQ, the whole trigger system is implemented in hardware, while the KamLAND2 DAQ adopts hardware trigger for photon detection and software trigger to extract physics events. A simulation study of the software trigger is proceeding in order to detect low energy events using timing and charge information.
