  1. CTP offline meeting21/01/2009 A.Jusko and R.Lietava CTP offline review

  2. Outlook Naming Convention CTP Configuration file for Partition (Run) Prescaling (2 modes now) Group time allocation Trigger inputs - CTP readout Counters for Cross section L2a counters at the end of the run Interaction record Misc – timing, beam structure CTP offline review

  3. Naming scheme Proposal discussed with trigger and offline prepared by F.Antinori, see: http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/Offline/Activities/TriggerConvention/index.html • Basic elements: • Detector • Input • Descriptor = logical AND of trigger inputs and 2 L0functions • Detector cluster = group of detectors to be read-out • Bunch crossing mask = defines which BC in orbit are vetoed • Past future protection = condition imposed on the presence of triggers in the BC preceding and following the trigger BC • Rare flag = defines rare classes, which have reserved special bandwidth • Prescaler factor • Class = Descriptor+Cluster+BCM+PF+Rare+Prescaler CTP offline review

  4. Naming conventions - detectors CTP offline review

  5. Inputs, Descriptors, Class Input = n<3-char code> n – trigger level 0,1,2 2nd char = detector Example: 0SH1 – level 0 , SPD high multiplicity 1 trigger Descriptor = DXXXX - minimum 5 chars Class: CTP offline review

  6. Naming for internal inputs (BC1,BC2,RND1,RND2,L0 functions) (F.Antinori) Naming scheme for multiple level trigger Review the scheme after first experience with its usage Naming: Pending issues CTP offline review

CTP offline review

  10. Configuration file status Aliroot class written (Cvetan) Send to OCDB - via DAQ logbook - via DCS FXS (removed in the latest version) CTP offline review

  11. Trigger inputs – CTP Trigger inputs (L0 24+L1 24+L2 12) are added to CTP readout by firmware (8+5 words) CTP offline review

  12. CTP inputs: pending issues • CTP inputs (24 L0 + 24 L1 + 12 L2) • Now read out by the DAQ whenever the CTP is included as a readout subsystem • Code for reading from RAW is in place • Inputs parameters (delay,pos/neg) -> DB, loading at CTP proxy restart • Action: • propagate information to ESD and AOD? (Offline) CTP offline review

  13. xCounters data 6 counters per Trigger class necessary for cross section Maximum Data volume: (50 classes* 6+ time stamp) counters=305 words Read 1 per min => 305*60=74 kB/hour (to allow for RUN fragmentation and control counter overflow) Counters read viaVME at CTP CPU ( not part of ‘normal’ data flow) Data flow: - CTP -> DCS FXS ->SHUTTLE->OCDB CTP offline review

  16. xCounters data status File format defined Aliroot class written (Cvetan) CTP dim server implemented CTP client implemented Full chain tested from February 08 –file/run is sent to OCDB over DCS FXS CTP offline review

  17. xCounters: pending issues • Check the consistency of collected data (CTP group) • In case they are needed in analysis we have to propagate them to ESD/AOD • Spline fit in AliESDRun • Or extrapolated values for each event/ESD • Improve error managment CTP offline review

  18. L2a counters: pending issues • L2A counters • The end-of run values are currently sent to the info logger, but not to the DAQ logbook • Example: Run:62554 Partition:PHYSICS Duration(usecs) 563630834 L2a counts [class,counts]: [1,537] [2,71011] [3,2059] • Action: • propagate the information to the DAQ logbook (Anton) • Can we make use of the counters in central (automatic) raw-data reconstruction? CTP offline review

  19. Interaction records Interaction = 2 different interactions as two independent functions of (first) 4 L0 inputs are to be defined Interaction record = list of interactions in an ORBIT, up to 254 interactions per ORBIT For each DAQ event the interaction records from 2 ORBITS before and 2 ORBITS after are to be added to the event trigger data => Interaction records part of ‘normal’ data stream (DAQ) Full stream recorded also by the End of Run Event (DAQ) IR stream sampled for luminosity (per bunch) and beam structure (I.Kralik) Aim: to have full interaction history ± 88 μs for every event recorded by DAQ CTP offline review

  20. IR: pending issues • Items identified for further review • propagation of interaction record information in the event data and at end of run (CTP + DAQ) • There are event data collected – DAQ parts works fine, offline code as well • End-of-run • STATUS ? • Data flow max= 256 int/orbit=20Gb/hour • Data flow 200kHz = 1.4 Gb/hour CTP offline review

  21. Misc: • Time between interaction and L0: • Fixed for given detector • Same for all triggers after alignment • In the initial period before alignment time can be different for different triggers • Beam structure • How and when do we get information about beam structure from LHC ? • Configuration of triggering detectors: • Shuttle preprocessors to be modified, in discussion CTP offline review
