Calorimeter Detectors Muon Detectors Pre-processor Barrel Muon Trigger (RPC) End-cap Muon Trigger (TGC) Cluster Processor (e/γ and τ/h) Jet/Energy Processor Muon-CTP-Interface (MUCTPI) Common Merger Modules Central Trigger Processor (CTP) ... Level-2 LTP LTP TTC Partition TTC Partition TTC Busy TTC Busy Detector Front-Ends/Read-out ATLAS Level-1 Trigger System • Synchronous, pipelined processing at 40MHz • Level-1 latency: 2000ns (+ 500ns safety) • Level-1 output rate: < 100 kHz • LTP = Local Trigger Processor (Standard sub-detector interface to the CPT) • TTC = Timing, Trigger & Control • Busy = Tree of Busy Modules • ATLAS has about 40 TTC Partitions subject of this talk Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  4. MUCTPI at Point 1 • Demonstrator installed • provides almost full functionality • missing some flexibility in overlap handling (see Stefan Haas) • MIOCT: • Input module for octant. Current configuration allows 14 trigger sectors (out of 208) to be connected • Connected with 2 RPC prototype sector logic modules (see Riccardo Vari) • MICTP: Timing distribution and trigger (muon multiplicities) output to CTP • MIROD: S-Link output to Level-2 and ROS • MIBAK: custom active backplane for readout and multiplicity summation Installed at Point 1 MICTP MIROD MIOCT Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  5. Central Trigger Processor at Point 1 • Final modules installed • 1 CTP_IN for 4 trigger input cables • 2 more to come • CTP_MI: Machine interface (clock and orbit input) • CTP_MON: Monitoring of trigger input per bunch crossing ID • CTP_CORE: Trigger decision according to trigger menu • 4 x CTP_OUT: Output to sub-detectors • NIM-to-LVDS converter module to connect individual trigger signals • Two more CTP systems in laboratory for hardware test and software development Installed at Point 1 Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  6. Trigger Inputs - L1Calo • Integration test to CTP in July: • sent known pattern at 40MHz from L1Calo Common Merger Module (final) to CTP_IN • receival of patterns in CTP_IN memory and comparison with known pattern • no errors found over 15 minutes • minor firmware bug discovered in treatment of parity • two faulty cables discovered Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  7. Trigger Inputs - RPC/MUCTPI • Barrel Muon Trigger (RPC) Sector 13: • Sector 13 is so far the only sector fully equipped with cables and services • Barrel Middle and Barrel Outer Chambers used, defining 6 trigger towers • Connection between two RPC prototype sector logic modules and MUCTPI: • link0: towers 0+1 • link1: tower 2 • link from MUCTPI to CTP • CTP: • one NIM trigger signal from sector 13 • CTP configured to trigger on: NIM OR link0/link1 RPC1 RPC2 RPC3 3 4 5 NIM signal Sector 13 0 1 2 link1 link0 Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  8. Trigger inputs - RPC/MUCTPI • MUCTPI: • phase measured of link0 and link1 clock • link from MUCTPI to CTP • CTP: • phase measured between MUCTPI input and clock • NIM signal delayed by 6 BC wrt MUCTPI signals • due to MUCTPI latency CTP MUCTPI link0 link1 NIM signal 3 4 5 Link0 Sector 13 0 1 2 Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  9. Central Trigger Processor • Central trigger hardware well integrated with the ATLAS Run Control • Configuration from trigger database possible • Simple trigger menu for integration with muons: • require at least one muon candidate from MUCTPI for any pt threshold • sector 13 NIM trigger • GPS-timestamp for each accepted event from General-Machine-Time receiver • Deadtime mechanism tested • Basic monitoring tools: • deadtime • L1A counters in CTP and MUCTPI • Muon multiplicity counters in MUCTPI ATLAS Run Control Monitoring Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  10. Distribution of trigger, timing and controls signals, read-out • Signals: • Clock, Orbit, L1A, ECR (event counter reset) • BUSY (backpressure from readout) • CTP: • Clock and orbit are received from machine (RF2TTC, see Sophie Baron) or generated internally • ECR generated periodically with 0.1-1Hz • Internal distribution in the CTP VME crate • MUCTPI: • distribution directly via LEMO cables • other sub-systems: • differential link (10-30m) between CTP_OUTs and sub-system Local Trigger Processor (LTP) LTP TTC Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  12. Readout of the Central Trigger • Final readout links (S-Link) to Readout systems (ROS, 2 PCs) • Connection tested in standalone mode: • consistency between the MUCTPI and CTP data • rate limited by temporary event building to about 25 kHz • backpressure mechanism functional MUCTPI CTP Readout Link ROS ROS control network temporary event builder File Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  13. Integration with Level-2 • see also: Yuri Ermoline • Test: Comparison of central level-1 trigger data from two different streams, after event building (in SFI): • trigger stream • readout stream • Read out both streams at 20 kHz • rate limited by back-pressure from Level-2 • no errors found • minor problem with identifiers found and fixed Underground MUCTPI CTP RoI Readout System Region-of- Interest Builder Level-2 Supervisor L2PU L2Result Handler Dataflow Manager Event building Surface Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  14. Combined Cosmics with RPC, MDT, Tilecal • Combined cosmics run with sector 13 in August • Temporary gas systems operational both for RPC and MDT • Combined partition: • Trigger: RPC, MUCTPI, CTP • Readout: RPC, MDT, Tilecal, L1Central • timing-in: guess & try • about 500k events recorded at 40Hz TileCal MDT RPC Trigger path Readout path CTP MuCTPI Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  18. Level-1 latency • RPC readout window: 1825-2000 ns (70-80 BCs) • from chamber hit to arrival of L1A • consistent with latency budget of 2000ns (+500ns safety) • Trigger input: • RPC(SL) --> MUCTPI: 3 BC • MUCTPI: 6 BC  OK • RPC(NIM) --> CTP: 3 BC • delayed in CTP_IN by 6 BC to align with MUCTPI trigger inputs • Trigger decision: • CTP: 4 BC  OK • Trigger distribution: • CTP --> RPC: 4 BC time 4BC 4BC 6BC 3BC CTP RPC Sector Logic MUCTPI Thilo Pauly -- LECC 2006 Valencia -- 26 September 2006

  20. Conclusions • Level-1 Central Trigger (CTP and MUCTPI) is installed and functional at Point-1 with mainly final hardware • A complete trigger and read-out chain has been successfully operated in the cavern with cosmics • CTP triggered on signals from barrel muon trigger (sector 13) • Read out RPC, MDT, Tilecal, CTP and MUCTPI • First integration tests with Level-2 were successful • Integration and commissioning is in full swing • More trigger inputs soon • More detectors to be read-out • Need systematic strategy of treating a bigger system (timing-in, monitoring, configuration, ...)
