  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.
