  1. Muon Spectrometer Upgrade Physics Motivation o W-physics: Increase the rejection of the single muon trigger to 104 (design: 103, observed: 102). o Gluon saturation at small x in d-Au: Extension of the kinematic range for direct photon production to small x. o  first level trigger for Heavy Ion Physics o Increase stability of muon trigger against beam related backgrounds. Components of the upgrade Front electronics and trigger People and Schedule Matthias Grosse Perdekamp, RBRC and UIUC

  2. Physics Motivation W Production in pp Level 1 trigger in AA Gluon Saturation in dA Measure the A-dependence of the gluon distribution at small x: o Survey the dependence of nucleon structure on the nuclear environment. o Search for gluon saturation at small x: 10-3<x<10-2 o Survey initial state for HI high pT physics. Study color screening effects associated with QGP production in  quarkonium states: The seperation of the (1S) state from the (2S) and (3S) states requires good invariant mass resolution (100MeV) and requires long runs at as high as possible integrated luminosity.

  3. Projected Rates in pp: Level 1 Channel Rates electron trigger 4kHz (EMCxRICH, E>1.5GeV) R=3000 photon trigger (EMC>3GeV) 0.3kHz R=40000 Jet (EMC Multiplicity) 6kHz single muon 17.6kHz (muId deep muon) R=570 Others 2kHz Total 29.9kHz PHENIX bandwidth 12kHz (->24kHz for $2M) o rate from level 1 should stay below about 7-8kHz o can pre-scale electron trigger and jet trigger by factors 2-3 (as event samples are going to be several 106 events). o W sample is about 104. o Maschine Luminosity will increase over several years (first 500 GeV production run: Time scale to fix the trigger problem is 3-5 years. o Ken Reed et.al and Jamie Nagle et al. found “default R(uId)” of about 1000. o We do not have a reliable estimate of beam related background in the muon trigger. o need additional rejection of 10-50 depending on the beam background trigger rate.
