Topics for discussion
From GlueXWiki
1. Overview main features of the GlueX subdetectors which are planned be integrated into the Level-1 trigger:
- Tagger microscope counters
- Start Counter
- FCAL
- BCAL
- TOF
Discuss:
- feasibility of usage and their role in the Level-1 algorithm,
- rates induced by electromagnetic and hadronic interactions,
- signal responses: pulse shapes and signal propagation timing
- (feedback is needed from the prototypes test: BCAL, TOF)
- signal thresholds,
- cabling.
2. Overview the trigger algorithm.
3. Trigger types
- global self-triggered types (physics, cosmics, random, calibration ...),
- external triggers (calibration), and sub-detector standalone triggers
- Feedback is needed from sub-detector and calibration groups.
4. Overview trigger electronics:
- Performance of board prototypes:
- F1ADC (modes, FPGA resources...)
- Signal Distribution (SD)
- Trigger Interface (TI)
- Crate Trigger Processor (CTP)
- Results from the 2 crates test stand
- Specifications (design) of the board prototypes:
- Sub-System processor (SSP)
- Trigger Distribution (TD)
- Trigger Supervisor (TS)
- Global Trigger Processor (GTP)
5. Monitoring of the hardware performance
- Online monitors ( scalers )
- Algorithm/hardware tests using inputs from MC simulation
6. Trigger electronics in 12 GeV HALL-B project
