An important step in the ATLAS upgrade program is the installation of a tracking processor, the Fast Tracker (FTK), with the goal to identify tracks generated from charged particles originated by the LHC 14 TeV proton-proton collisions. The collisions will generate thousands of hits in each layer of the silicon tracker detector, making the track identification a very challenging computational problem...
As the LHC luminosity is ramped up to 3 and beyond, the high rates, multiplicities, and energies of particles seen by the detectors will pose a unique challenge. Only a tiny fraction of the produced collisions can be stored offline and immense real-time data reduction is needed. An effective trigger system must maintain high trigger efficiencies for the physics...
As the LHC luminosity is ramped up to 3×1034 cm-2 s-1 and beyond, the high rates, multiplicities, and energies of particles seen by the detectors will pose a unique challenge. Only a tiny fraction of the produced collisions can be stored on tape and immense real-time data reduction is needed. An effective trigger system must maintain high trigger efficiencies for the physics we are most interested...
