In LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Run 2, the center-of-mass energy for proton-proton collisions is 13 TeV and the instantaneous luminosity has doubled. This has made it more challenging to trigger on interesting events since the number of interactions per crossing (pileup) is significantly larger than in LHC Run 1. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment has installed, commissioned, and is operating...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has begun the physics program for Run 2. The center-of-mass energy has risen from 8 to 13 TeV and the instantaneous luminosity will increase for both proton and heavy-ion running. This will make it more challenging to trigger on interesting events since the number of interactions per crossing (pile-up) and the overall trigger rate will be significantly larger...
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is currently installing upgrades to their Calorimeter Trigger for LHC Run 2 to ensure that the trigger thresholds can stay low, and physics data collection will not be compromised. The electronics will be upgraded in two stages. Stage-1 for 2015 will upgrade some electronics and links from copper to optical in the existing calorimeter trigger so that the...
The electronics for the regional calorimeter trigger (RCT) of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been produced and tested, and are being integrated with the experiment at CERN. The RCT hardware consists of 18 double-sided crates containing custom boards, ASICs, and backplanes all running at 160 MHz frequency. The RCT receives 8 bit energies and a data...
