Description
ATLAS electron and photon triggers covering transverse energies from 5 GeV to
several TeV are essential to record signals for a wide variety of physics:
from Standard Model processes to searches for new phenomena. To cope with
ever-increasing luminosity and more challenging pile-up conditions at a centre-of-mass
energy of 13 TeV, the trigger selections need to be optimized to
control the rates and keep efficiencies high. The ATLAS electron and photon
trigger performance in Run 2 will be presented, including both the role of the ATLAS
calorimeter in electron and photon identification and details of new
techniques developed to maintain high performance even in high pile-up
conditions.
