The electronics for the Regional Calorimeter Trigger
(RCT) of the Compact Muon
Solenoid Experiment (CMS) have been produced and
tested. The RCT hardware consists
of 18 double-sided crates containing custom boards,
ASICs, and backplanes. The RCT
receives 8 bit energies and a data quality bit from the
HCAL and ECAL Trigger
Primitive Generators (TPGs) and sends it to the CMS...

An alternative design for the CMS Global Calorimeter Trigger (GCT) is being
implemented. The new design adheres to all the CMS specifications regarding
interfaces and functional requirements of the trigger systems. The design is
modular, compact, and utilizes proven components. Functionality has been
partitioned to allow commissioning in stages corresponding to the different...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general purpose experiment
designed to study proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). At the LHC, proton beams will cross each other at a
rate of 40 MHz, producing in average 20 p-p interactions. The CMS L1
Trigger must select interesting collisions at a rate smaller than
100 kHz. The Drift Tube Track Finder (DTTF) implements the...

In the CMS experiment, sub-detectors may send special trigger signals, called
“Technical Triggers”, for special purposes like test and calibration during the
off-beam periods. The Resistive Plate Chambers are part of the Muon Trigger System of
the experiment, but might also be used to produce a cosmic muon trigger as Technical
Trigger to be used during the Cosmic Challenge and the later...

Drift Tubes chambers are used in the CMS barrel for tagging the passage of high Pt
muons generated in a LHC event and for triggering the CMS data read out. The
Sector Collector system synchronizes the track segments built by trigger modules on
the chambers and deliver them to reconstruction processors (Track Finder, TF) that
assemble full muon tracks. Then, the Muon Sorter has to...
