  10. 12 MHz 1 MHz ~2 kHz Trigger overview pp collisions • custom hardware • high ET particles • partial detector information Level-0 • CPU farm -> software trigger • high ET / IP particles • full detector information HLT • event size ~35 kb Storage LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics

  11. Trigger Strategy Be alert ! • Two-level Trigger • L0high ET / PT particles • hardware trigger, sub-detector specific implementation • pipelined operation, fixed latency of 4 ms • (minimum bias) rate reduction ~12 MHz -> 1 MHz • HLT:high ET/PT & high Impact Param. particles & displaced vertices & B-mass & … • algorithms run on large PC farm with ~1800 nodes • several trigger streams to exploit and refine L0 triggering information • software reconstruction on part/all of the data  tracking / vertexing with accuracy close to offline • selection and classification of interesting physics events  inclusive / exclusive streams • rate reduction 1 MHz -> 2 kHz • estimated event size ~ 30kb LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics

  12. Level-0 Trigger strategy • select high ET / PT particles  hadrons / electrons / photons / p0’s / muons • reject complex / busy events  more difficult to reconstruct in HLT  take longer to reconstruct in HLT • reject empty events  uninteresting for future analysis L0 thresholds on ET / PT of candidates global event variables Pile-up system Calorimeter Muon system LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics

  13. Scintillator Pad Detector (SPD) ECAL HCAL Pre-Shower Detector (PS) Level-0 sub-systems L0 Pile-up system: • 2 silicon planes upstream of nominal IP, part of the Vertex Locator (VELO) • Identifies multi-PV events: - 2-interactions crossings identified with efficiency ~60% and purity ~95% L0 Calorimeter : • Identify high-ET hadrons / e’s / g’s / p0’s • Electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters - large energy deposits  ET in 2x2 cells • Scintillator Pad Detector (SPD) and Preshower (PS) - used for charged/electromagnetic nature of clusters, respectively L0 Muon System: • M1 – M5 muon stations (4 quadrants each) • σp/p ~ 20% for b-decays LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics

  23. Tracking strategy |B| (T) • A set of PR algorithms • Multi-pass strategy A typical event: • 26 long tracks  best quality for physics: good P & IP resolution • 11 upstream tracks  lower p, worse p resol., but useful in the RICH1 pattern recognition • 4 downtream tracks  improves Ks finding efficiency (good p resolution) • 5 seed/T tracks  used in the RICH2 pattern recognition • 26 VELO tracks  used in primary vertex reconstruction: good IP resolution B-field measured to ~ 0.03% precision!

  26. Track fitting Tracks - pattern recognition attributes detector measurements to a track - modelled with straight-line segments, the (track) states Track fitting - determine the best track parameters and corresponding covariance matrix given the measurements on the track - take into account multiple scattering and energy losses in the detector material Description of a realistic detector with mis-alignments - introduction of trajectories to model “measurements” (concept adapted from BaBar) - trajectory = 3D curve in space (of arbitrary shape) - detector shapes locally described with trajectories - a track state (straight-line segment) can also be modeled as a trajectory - any trajectory can provide a parabolic approximation of its shape at any point along itself  closest approach track state – measurement becomes a general point-of-closest-approach problem! “banana-shaped” Outer Tracker modules LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics

  27. Track fitting « à la Kalman » LHCb uses the Kalman filter technique: • Mathematically equivalent to least c2 method • Adds measurements recursively starting from a initial track estimate • Reconstructs tracks including multiple scattering and energy losses • We use a “bi-directional” fit … Bi-directional fit direction of the filter direction of the reverse filter track prediction filtered track track prediction filtered track Filter in both directions … smoothed result = weighted mean of both filters LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics

  28. Fitting from a seed (track) state • Measurements (hit & error) • Seed State (position, direction & momentum) • Prediction (adaptive 5th order Runge-Kutta method solves motion in the inhomogeneous B) • Kalman Filtered (update prediction with Measurement info) LHCb: a stroll from Trigger to Physics
