The initial interactions rate foreseen at LHC at the designed luminosity of 1034 cm-2 s-1 is 1 GHz. Such an extremely large rate must be reduced by the trigger system to 100 Hz in order to allow permanent data storage preserving the much less probable physics signals against a large background. The ATLAS Level-1 muon trigger will be crucial for the online selection of events with high transverse momentum...
A version of a new greedy algorithm for approximating minimum set cover is presented. The algorithm, while not randomized, is based on a probability distribution that leads the greedy choice. The algorithm has been specifically tailored to run on platforms with minimal computational hardware. We also describe an implementation based on a FPGA which makes the algorithm suitable for embedded and real-time...
The Agilent's G-Link serializers-deserializers are long lasting and widely used devices to implement serial links in the range of ~1Gbit/s on copper and fibres. They feature a wide clocking window spanning the 13 to 70 MHz range, the ability to compensate for a constant phase delay in the clock distribution between the Tx and Rx node, low and deterministic link latency. All that makes this old-fashioned,...
The three-level ATLAS trigger system has been designed to reduce the initial LHC interactions rate from 1 GHz, to ~100 Hz in order to allow permanent data storage. This result must be achieved preserving the less probable physics signals against a large background therefore providing a challenge task for the trigger and DAQ system. The level-1 muon trigger in the barrel region of the muon spectrometer...
