Trigger Travel & COLA Wesley Smith Aug. 17, 2010 Outline Overview of Activities FY 11 Budget Travel COLA Summary US CMS FY 2011 Budget Review
Overview of US CMS L1 Trigger Activities – FY 10 & 11 • Operating Regional Calorimeter Trigger • Maintenance of Regional Calorimeter Trigger • Evolution/Adjustment of Regional Calorimeter Trigger • R&D on Calorimeter Trigger Upgrade* • Simulation Studies for Calorimeter Trigger Upgrade* • Operating CSC Muon Detector Trigger • Maintenance of CSC Muon Detector Trigger • Evolution/Adjustment of CSC Muon Detector Trigger • R&D on CSC Muon Trigger Detector Upgrade* • Operating CSC Muon Track-Finder Trigger • Maintenance of Endcap Muon Track-Finder Trigger • Evolution/Adjustment of CSC Muon Track-Finder Trigger • R&D on CSC Muon Trigger Track-Finder Upgrade* • Simulation Studies for Endcap Tracker-Muon Trigger Upgrade* * Covered as part of upgrade presentation
Overview of US CMS Other Activities – FY10 & 11 • HLT • Trigger Performance Studies • Trigger online & offline DQM • Trigger Timing, CPU and Memory Studies • Trigger Menu Integration online deployment & operations • Trigger Rate Calculations and Prescales • Trigger Menu Development • HLT Code Integration • Level-1 • Trigger Online Software (Trigger Supervisor) • Calorimeter Trigger Primitive Support (Serial Link Boards)
FY 2011 – Travel Summary • Cornell PD/GS: HLT support of Trigger Performance, DQM & Database • FL, Rice, WI Eng.: evaluate performance & solve/repair problems on-site & conduct detailed system diagnostics to investigate long-term operation. • FL, WI GS travel to send non-CERN-resident students to work on RCT/CSC trigger and serve trigger shifts to relieve/assist the on-site teams • UIC PD: HLT support of Jet Trigger & Trigger Menu Development • WI Tech.: make on-site repairs and improvements. • WI Sci./PD travel to return to institute to work on hardware changes and studies being tested in lab, update test setup, confer with Engineering team at institute.
FY 2011 – COLA Details - II ‡Provide full 24X7 trigger shift & on-call coverage during extended running period & support full calorimeter trigger system and diagnostics (2000 board, 19-crate system) except for single GCT crate †Jose Carlos da Silva: Wisconsin CERN contract (75% Lisbon on ECAL): Diagnosis, firmware updates and general support of 1000 SLB Trigger Primitive transmission mezzanine cards that connect from HCAL HTR & ECAL TCC to RCT *Marc Magrans: This is partial personnel support in lieu of a cash payment to the Trigger Common fund for Marc Magrans who is in charge of the Trigger Online Software (a.k.a. Trigger Supervisor), which is a full-time job.
Summary and Conclusions • Have a strong but stressed on-site team to support 24x7 L1 trigger & HLT operations for an extended collisions run with changing luminosity, energy, heavy ions • Staffing expert & trigger shifts is a concern • COLA & Travel essential to support on-site team • Need to recruit to compensate for turn-over • COLA & Travel support help with this • Expect that all funding will be needed and unexpected events will be covered by contingency
