During the first running period of the LHC, the ATLAS trigger system has been used to select events from proton-proton collisions at centre of mass energies of up to 8 TeV and is designed to reduce the event rate from 40 MHz, the LHC design frequency, to around 400 Hz. The system employs a three-level configuration, where the first level is hardware-based and subsequent levels are...

The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) experiment is designed for a dedicated study of heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, at energies up to 1150 TeV(2.75TeV/u). ALICE is composed of 18 detection systems based on different technologies including semiconductor, gas, scintillation, cherenkov detectors. To ensure a safe and correct operation and...

The present CMS-HCAL (Hadron Calorimeter) will require an upgrade of the instrumentation electronics to meet the expected performance of high luminosity upgrade of the LHC. The ongoing research has established the μTCA (Micro Telecommunication and Computing Architecture) as a potential candidate to replace the existing VME for the backend electronics upgrade which will provide more accessible...
