The "Giga" Era of Instrumentation for Current and Future Experiments

*Abstract*

/Future discoveries at the cosmic, energy and intensity frontiers 
require large arrays of inexpensive, high-performance instrumentation. 
The electronics of such systems now routinely consist of billions of 
transistors taking measurements at Giga-Hertz frequencies and 
transmitting data at Giga-bit/second rates.  Affordable access to these 
technologies has fuelled this new "Giga" Era, which forms the backbone 
of recent and future discovery experiments.

Following a brief introduction to the Belle II detector upgrade, a 
concrete example will be provided for the recently completed muon system 
overhaul and novel imaging Time Of Propagation (iTOP) detector 
subsystems for the recently commissioned SuperKEKB Flavor Factory.

Having developed these low-cost, high-performance and compact readout 
systems, it is interesting to explore how they may be applicable to 
future detectors, such as those of an Electron-Ion Collider./
