Trigger Line Definition/Convention

DCT Objects:

A: long track reaching SL10, Pt ~180 MeV

B: short track reaching SL5, Pt ~120 MeV

A’: high Pt track reaching SL10, Pt > 800 MeV

EMT Objects:M: minimal ionizing cluster, E >100 MeV

G: intermediate energy cluster, E >300 MeV

E: high energy cluster, E >700 MeV

Y: backward barrel cluster, E >1 GeV

IFT Objects:1U: 1 high P muon in backward endcap

B*,M*...* means back-to-back objects(>120 )D2 = 2B&1A, D2* = B*&1AD2*+ = B*&1A&1A’ , A+ = A&A’

Requirements:

All unprescaled lines have high Pt cut (800MeV) and with back-to-back requirement. No unprescaled orthogonal lines.All high eff. Lines have to be prescaled.

Shortcomings:

Expected @ high background rate, will try to improve…add 2BM+1AM, lower Pt cut?


L1 Strategy to improve performance

Better Combination of trigger lines:

DCT+EMT phi matchingGive up some orthogonal lines

Improve trigger objects:

Short-term: PTD ---> DOCAD

Long-term: DOCAD --> DOCAZD?

Need good understanding of background --> next

DCT Trigger Hardware

New idea

(only firmware change)


Drift Chamber Trigger ( DCT )

The heart of DCT is the Track Segment FinderTSF continuously live image processor

A novel method: using both occupancy and drift-time information, to find track segments continuously with:time resolution of ~ 100 ns, event-time jitter window ~ 100 nsspatial resolution ~ 1 mm used for track Pt Discrimination

Use 24 TSF modules

(2) send segment patterns to the DAQ system for use in Level 3 ...

(1) send segment patterns downstream forL1 trigger decision making

Upon a L1 accept:

New DOCAD algorithm

Tracks (above threshold) coming from IP should leave all the hits in one of the slices Tracks not coming from IP will most likelyleave hits in different slices

4 hits on one track with ~1mm,should be able to tell whether the track is from IP

(baseline design: simple algo.)

Effect on Background:

Use hadron skim (~10% bkg)

~ 4% loss at turn on

Use single beam runL1 pass thr events

40% rejection on A’ linewith simple algorithm

Max Pt in the event

The goal here is not to find thebest algorithm possible, but onewhich is easy to be implementedand with good performance


DOCAD algorithm: possible improvement Require 3/3 in ALL slices

70% bkg rejection!

But 20% signal lossDue to cell ineff.

TSF can determine segment location with 1 mm resolutiononly for 4/4 patternsThe resolution is degraded for 3/4 patterns:

calibrating 3/4 patterns should help

using the information should help(baseline design ignored )


The Drift Chamber ( DCH )

10 superlayers of 4 layers each

Axial and stereo alternate

Cell size: 1.2 cm x 1.8 cm

L1 Long term strategy: cut in Z using TSF fine position info from stereo superlayers?


L1 long-term strategy:

Can we cut in Z using TSF position info from stereo SLs?

Stereo SLs --> Z Axial SLs --> DOCA DOCAZD

Cosmic ray events

Close to IP in z

Off IP in z

In other words:move some L3 DCH algorithmupstream to L1 (cut in doca&z)

Tough but possible !

What to expect? The answer is in the TSF data we already have

Can we cut in Z using TSF position info from stereo SLs?
