The Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been in operation since the year 2000. The capabilities of the Trigger and DAQ systems have undergone constant upgrades to improve the performance, capabilities and stability during the 13 years since the beginning of operations. The performance has been increased...

Pleanary

The CBM experiment is being designed to measure heavy-ion collisions at very high interacton rates. The interesting signals are extremely rare and their signatures are complex. These conditions call for a novel DAQ and trigger concept which is not limited by latency but by throughput. In particular, there will be no hardware trigger; online data reduction will be performed in software on a...
