<title>WIT2012 Workshop on Intelligent Trackers</title>
<description>With the increasing capabilities of microelectronic technology, future particle detectors will be able to yield high level features that are not only simple geometrical positions or energy measurements in the sensors used. The ability to compute such high level primitives in near real-time is what we characterize as &amp;ldquo;intelligence&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
This will enable the construction of detectors with novel functionalities, allowing the trigger logic or even the off-line analysis in experiments to handle immediately more complex features of the measurements. Two examples of new primitives are near real-time charged particle direction or charge clusters without pixel boundary effects. But the addition of such intelligence has practical challenges and in particular system issues must be addressed, such as material budget and power density.&lt;br /&gt;
This Workshop would provide a discussion forum for the community of scientists and engineers working on development of intelligent devices.&lt;br /&gt;
The objectives of the workshop will be to enhance the cross breeding of ideas, to compare concepts for incorporating intelligence in particle trackers, and to explore possibilities for application to other areas.&lt;br /&gt;
The format of the workshop is on plenary sessions, for a duration of 2.5 days.&lt;br /&gt;
This Workshop is the second of the series. The &lt;a href="https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=68677" target="_blank"&gt; first one &lt;/a&gt;was held in Berkeley in 2010.
&lt;br /&gt;
Registration for the workshop will be &lt;b&gt;by invitation&lt;/b&gt; following review of abstracts.
&lt;br /&gt;
The abstract submission deadline is &lt;b&gt;January 14, 2012&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
Proceedings of the workshop will be published in &lt;b&gt;JINST&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
Deadline extended to January 28, 2012.
&lt;br /&gt;
We invite submission of abstracts in the following subjects:&lt;br /&gt;
*Applications of intelligent detectors&lt;br /&gt;
*Coupled layer and monolithic architectures&lt;br /&gt;
*Development of specific components&lt;br /&gt;
*Electronic circuits (3D and conventional) on- and off-detector&lt;br /&gt;
*High speed communication&lt;br /&gt;
*System integration&lt;br /&gt;
*Real time pattern recognition&lt;br /&gt;
*Advanced Algorithms </description>

 <abstract>The combination of gaseous detectors with pixel readout chips gives unprecedented hit resolution (improving from O(100 um) for wire chambers to 10 um), as well as high-rate capability, low radiation length and giving in addition angular information on the local track. These devices measure individually every electron liberated by the passage of a charged particle, leading to a large quantity of data to be read out. Typically an external trigger is used to start the read-out.

We are investigating the addition of local intelligence to the pixel read-out chip. A first level of processing detects the passage of a particle through the gas volume, and accurately determines the time of passage. A second level measures in an approximate but fast way the tilt-angle of the track. This can be used to trigger a third stage in which all hits associated to the track are processed locally to give a least-squares-fit to the track. The chip can then send out just the fitted track parameters instead of the individual electron coordinates. 

This self-triggering capability could have a major application in the level-1 track trigger proposed for the ATLAS upgrade for the sLHC. I will briefly summarise the track trigger requirements for the ATLAS Upgrade and highlight the advantages of a gaseous detector for this application, followed by discussing one approach to the local intelligence needed to realise such a trigger.</abstract>
