Matt Warren (UCL)23/09/2009, 15:00TriggerOralThe existing ATLAS Level-1 trigger system is seriously challenged at the SLHC's higher luminosity. A hardware tracking trigger might be needed, but requires a detailed understanding of the detector. Simulation of high pile-up events, with various data-reduction techniques applied, will be described. Two scenarios are envisaged: (a) regional readout - calorimeter and muon triggers are used to...Go to contribution page

Prof. Geoff Hall (Imperial College London)23/09/2009, 15:25TriggerOralThe CMS experiment is planning a major upgrade of its tracking system to adapt to an expected increase in luminosity of the LHC accelerator to 1035 cm-2.s-1. The CMS Tracker will then have to cope with several hundred interactions per bunch crossing and fluxes of thousands of charged particles emerging from collisions. CMS requires tracker data to contribute to the first level trigger, which...Go to contribution page

Dr Gregory Michiel Iles (Imperial College)23/09/2009, 16:15TriggerOralCERN has made public a comprehensive plan for upgrading the LHC accelerator to provide increased luminosity commonly referred to as SuperLHC (SLHC). The plan envisages two phases of upgrades during which the LHC luminosity increases gradually to reach 6-7×1034 cm-2sec-1. Over the past year CMS has responded with a series of workshops and studies which have defined the roadmap for upgrading the...Go to contribution page

Wang University of Florida/Physics, POB 118440, Gainesville, FL, USA, 32611 B. P. Padley, M. Matveev Rice University, Houston, Texas The conceptual design for a Level-1 muon track-finder trigger for the CMS endcap muon system is proposed that can accommodate the increased particle occupancy and...Go to contribution page

Dr John Jones (Princeton University)23/09/2009, 17:05TriggerOralThe Matrix card is the first in what is expected to be a series of xTCA cards produced for a variety of projects at CERN, Trieste and LANL. Developed as a joint collaboration between colleagues at Princeton, Imperial College, LANL and CERN, the device comprises the latest generation of readily-available Xilinx FPGAs, crosspoint-switch technology and optical links in a 3U form factor. In this...Go to contribution page
