The level-1 calorimeter trigger for the CMS detector

  • 1. Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI (United States)

Description

The authors present results from simulation studies and implementation ideas for the level-1 calorimeter trigger for the CMS detector at the LHC collider. QCD background trigger rates and signal efficiencies for electron and photon triggers using several simple level-1 algorithms are discussed. Jet trigger rates and efficiencies are studied for various calorimeter tower sums. Some of the technical challenges in implementing these simple trigger algorithms in a high rate environment are also explored. Design of a high speed adder ASIC is briefly discussed
