DarkSide-20k is a planned two-phase liquid Argon time-projection-chamber (LAr-TPC) for direct WIMP search. The S1 and S2 light from the 20 ton fiducial volume is detected with Silicon photomultipliers and digitized. Due to the expected data rate of hundreds of MB/s it is impractical to record full waveform data continuously like in the smaller DarkSide-50 experiment, instead complex filtering and processing is required to select meaningful data. Since this processing needs to take into account all (above threshold) data channels at once, it cannot happen directly in the acquisition module, but all data has to be transferred to a processing farm, where processing time will likely exceed acquisition time. In order to address this, data will be compiled into time slices (on the order of a second), which get distributed to individual processing machines. The process is somewhat complicated by the fact that due to the long drift time in the TPC signals from the same physical event can be spread out over milliseconds, it is thus necessary for time slices to overlap enough to ensure each physical event is contained completely in one slice.
This presentation will give an overview of the DarkSide vertical slice scheme and show how it is implemented within a MIDAS-based data acquisition system.

**WELCOME TO THE 2021 CAP VIRTUAL CONGRESS UNDERLINE PLATFORM**

The CAP staff and our organizing and program committees are pleased to welcome you to our 2021 Congress filled with plenary talks, technical sessions/talks, student presentations and competition sessions, workshops, and several symposia offered by the CAP divisions and its partners.  

You will also have opportunities to network with other delegates through the Gathertown platform accessed by selecting the lounge or posters button on the left.

Registered delegates should use the schedule button to call up the details of the session/event they wish to attend.  Each sessions includes a link to access the online platform where the event is taking place, either within Underline or through other Congress-related Zoom meetings.  

Invited speaker talks are identified with an (I), and student competitors include a (G*) or (U*) to identify graduate or undergraduate presenters.

Please take the time to check out the information about our sponsors and exhibitors, request further information, or leave a note of thanks for their support.

General information about the Congress can be found on the CAP website Congress pages at https://www.cap.ca/congress/2021.

Looking for a specific talk?   A full searchable list is available on our Indico Congress site at https://indico.cern.ch/event/985448/contributions/

We look forward to sharing this exciting week with you!
