EPECUR experiment setup is under construction at the beam line 322 of the ITEP proton synchrotron. The experiment requires several large area drift chambers to provide reasonable acceptance and fine pitch proportional chambers for beam particle tracking with total number of electronic channels of about 7000. New compact and cost effective readout system for these gaseous detectors was designed, prototyped and tested in the latest two years based on the modern technologies in analog and digital electronics, as well as in data transfer protocols. Mass production of the proportional chamber electronics is close to the end, while the boards for the drift chambers are manufactured in the amount to equip one 8-plane module. The paper presents the functional description of the whole DAQ system and its main parts together with some of the test results as an illustration of the excellent performance of the system. The appendix contains specific information which may be useful for the system users or code developers.

CHIPS (CHerenkov detectors In mine PitS ) is a novel neutrino detector concept, aimed at building megaton water-Cherenkov neutrino detectors in a flexible and cheap way, while yielding science results comparable and contributing to conventional long-
baseline neutrino experiments. In the summer of 2018, a 5 kiloton proof-of-principle detector will be installed in a disused water-filled mine pit located in the NuMI neutrino beamline path in Minnesota, USA. The submerged cylindrical detector volume is 25 meters in diameter and 10 meter tall and is surrounded by light-tight liners. All inside walls are covered with PMT holding structures. CHIPS will use thousands of 3-inch PMTs to detect neutrinos interacting in the high-purity water in the detector volume. The focus of the (poster) presentation at the NuPhys2017 conference was on DAQ and electronics for the CHIPS experiment.
The STEREO experiment will search for a sterile neutrino by measuring the anti-neutrino energy spectrum as a function of the distance from the source, the ILL nuclear reactor. A dedicated electronic system, hosted in a single microTCA crate, was desi
gned for this experiment. It performs triggering in two stages with various selectable conditions, processing and readout via UDP/IPBUS of 68 photomultiplier signals continuously digitized at 250 MSPS. Additionally, for detector performance monitoring, the electronics allow on-line calibration by driving LED synchronously with the data acquisition. This paper describes the electronics requirements, architecture and the performances achieved.
Systematic measurements on the rate capability of thin MWPCs operated in Xenon, Argon and Neon mixtures using CO2 as UV-quencher are presented. A good agreement between data and existing models has been found, allowing us to present the rate capabili
ty of MWPCs in a comprehensive way and ultimately connect it with the mobilities of the drifting ions.
We present a detailed description of the drift chambers used as an active target and a tracking device in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The main characteristics of these chambers are a large area, a self supporting structure made of light composite m
aterials and a low cost. A spatial resolution of 150 microns has been achieved with a single hit efficiency of 97%.
The muon detector of LHCb, which comprises 1368 multi-wire-proportional-chambers (MWPC) for a total area of 435 m2, is the largest instrument of its kind exposed to such a high-radiation environment. In nine years of operation, from 2010 until 2018,
we did not observe appreciable signs of ageing of the detector in terms of reduced performance. However, during such a long period, many chamber gas gaps suffered from HV trips. Most of the trips were due to Malter-like effects, characterised by the appearance of local self-sustained high currents, presumably originating from impurities induced during chamber production. Very effective, though long, recovery procedures were implemented with a HV training of the gaps in situ while taking data. The training allowed most of the affected chambers to be returned to their full functionality and the muon detector efficiency to be kept close to 100%. The possibility of making the recovery faster and even more effective by adding a small percentage of oxygen in the gas mixture has been studied and successfully tested.
