The LHC will restart in 2015 with a higher centre-of-mass energy and luminosity. To allow the CMS physics programme to fully exploit these increases the CMS Level-1 trigger must maintain similar efficiencies for searches and precision measurements to those achieved in 2012. With an average of 50 interactions occurring in each bunch-crossing, it will be challenging to select interesting physics...

In 2015 the Large Hadron Collider will run with increased center-of-mass energy and luminosity. To maintain trigger efficiency against increased pileup rates, event topology information will be added to the ATLAS Level-1 real time data path and processed by a new Topology Processor (L1Topo). In phase-I, a new digital readout for the Liquid Argon calorimeters will provide finer granularity and...

123. The CMS MTF7 Trigger Board

One of the workhorses for the CMS Level-1 Muon Trigger upgrade is the Muon Trackfinder board with a Virtex-7 generation FPGA (MTF7). Optimized to handle large input bandwidth for data from the different muon sub-detectors, the board also has 1 Gigabyte of fast access memory to be used as a look-up table while assigning muon momenta. We discuss the challenges and solutions for implementing the...
