  3. Input Processing 2008 Present Trigger Tower summation & digitisation Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  4. Digital Processing Elements 2017 Need to improve L1Calo selectivity – particularly better electron purity Assume** move to “Minitowers” in place of trigger towers Separate summation in depth LAr: smaller area in , E.g. 0.05 x 0.1 (front) 0.05 x 0.05 (middle) 0.05 x 0.1 (back) Use pre-shower detector Tile: Separate in depth, 0.1 x 0.1 Use 3rd sampling in  trigger? ** there are many assumptions in this talk - Details need Monte Carlo study Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  5. Building minitowers from digital signals Easiest for L1Calo if all cells contributing to a given minitower… are brought to a common analogue phase and shape before digitisation digitised by FADCs aligned with pulse peak, using a common clock (for Mux) (Not assumed to have equal gains) Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  6. Building Digital Minitowers What happens if cells are not same shape when digitised? Should not happen if they are all from the same depth sampling Answer – add extra digital filter to adjust shape digitally before addition Effect on resolution needs checking Implies very large number of coefficients to download Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  7. Uncertainties Some questions to be looked at with MonteCarlo: What pulse shape is best for the trigger? Do we need to follow the baseline? What digitisation frequency do we need? What trigger tower size is best? Do we use the peak-finding in sampling 2 to sample the other layers? (Not in Tilecal - would wreck isolation) Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  8. Current Channel Organisation Present Cluster and Jet-ET processor is organised in  quadrants per crate (one quadrant per Cluster crate, two quadrants per Jet-ET crate) Increasing  along crates, increasing  up the backplane Input (on LVDS links, via the backplane) is organised as an -  matrix To populate the algorithms near the top and bottom of the crate, some data is duplicated, and copies are sent on more than one link Pre-processor modules are organised to provide this So analogue signals must be in a matrix Very different from calo signal organisation Large installation of analogue patch panels This is a big issue for SL1Calo because of thehuge number of signals and high speeds Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  9. Special Processing Strip layer: We should find and count clusters. Output data to contain details, e.g. Flag to indicate one cluster or many  position of the highest peak If ATLAS uses track trigger at L1 or L1.5, it will be useful to match tracks to precise cluster  positions Preshower: Not used in L1Calo at present. Real-time energy correction for dead material? Tilecal rear sampling Additional muon indicator, perhaps just needs lower and upper threshold? Also useful in cosmic trigger Need to extract these data somewhere from SL1Calo input processing, to be built in sent to SL1Muon Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  10. Instrumentation, Calibration Rate meters Present Preprocessors include rate metering and histogramming Rate meters are in constant use to help control hot towers Histogramming not so much used We can run rate meters or histograms, not both Ratemeters measure the rate of tower hits above a programmable threshold We should presumably include rate metering for minitowers Calibration LAr RODs have special functions for calibration With ten times the number of towers, this becomes important for SL1Calo as well We should agree on the calibration procedures early on, and include in the minitower building Norman Gee -Joint Calo/L1Calo Workshop

  11. Error Handling, Testing, Readout Understanding errors is critical in L1Calo. A single high-rate error source on a digital link can kill us. Links must be error-free to 1 bit in 1010 We have built-in error detection (parity error counting) and error handling (zero the bad data) Need to think about SL1Calo data link quality, error detection & correction (including links from calorimeters) We can inject digital data at many places in L1Calo, and check correct data processing and readout when running at full rate Extremely useful (vital !!) during construction, then to verify connectivity, check algorithms,… must be included in SL1Calo We read out inputs and outputs from every module Intermediate info can be discarded in RODs if the system is stable What will Calorimeter readout contain?
