LVL1 Selection B Physics processor TrigDiMuon Tag Probe Sergio Grancagnolo (University of Salento & INFN Lecce - Italy) on behalf of the ATLAS Muon Trigger group ACAT 2008 Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research The ATLAS Muon Trigger vertical slice at LHC startup The ATLAS trigger system is designed to keep high efficiency for interesting events, while rejecting standard model physics low pT events, with a suppression factor of the order of 107, reaching the ~200 Hz data storage capability of the DAQ system. Level 1 Trigger Level 2 Trigger Core algorithm is muFast, that confirms/rejects LVL1 result and refine muon pT evaluation, using MDT precision measurements. LVL1 selects active detector regions (Region of Interest, RoI), in each event. Coincidence windows are defined on the allowed geometrical roads with their center corresponding to the infinite momentum track. For the single beam run in september a special trigger configuration was set, allowing for tracks not pointing to the interaction region as for normal running. High pT muons are important for many known processes, that can be used for monitoring and calibration (Zmm) and for several new phenomena predicted at the LHC energy (Higgs, SUSY), therefore the muon trigger system is of primary importance. • Following steps are to be achieved within the 10 ms latency time: • “Global Pattern Recognition” involving trigger chambers and positions of MDT tubes (no use of drift time); • “Track fit” involving drift time measurements, performed for each MDT chamber; • Fast “pT estimate” via a Look-Up Table with no use of time consuming fit methods. The Muon Spectrometer (MS) is the detector dedicated to the identification of muons. It consists of RPC and TGC trigger chambers and MDT and CSC precision chambers. The Muon Vertical Slice consists of three main trigger steps, one hardware, level 1 (LVL1) and two software, level 2 (LVL2) and event filter (EF). Last two compose the High Level Trigger (HLT).

Using information from calorimeter, muTilelooks for energy deposit compatible with energy loss from muons. One of the main sources of muons at low pT are in flight decays of light mesons. E h, f A track from such decays appears with a kink, and the c2 of the fit is worse. All possible kinematical parameters and statistical techniques must be used in order to reject such tracks. The observed trigger events are mainly cosmics. LVL1 Efficiency is 83% Low-pT, 79% High-pT. Rates (lumi): low pT ~11 kHz (1033cm-2s-1), high pT ~2 kHz (1034cm-2s-1) Differential cross-section for production of muons from pions and kaons Reconstruction of cosmic events with muTile. Efficiency from Zmm sample Trigger Menus Different kinds of physic events need to share available bandwidth, that is limited. Flexible trigger menus allow to avoid saturation from few processes, and guarantee the possibility of organizing the analysis depending from luminosity conditions. When the rates are too high, prescale factors (PS) can be applied to low pT thresholds at LVL1. The HLT capabilities are studied using the pass through (PT) mode: events are flagged without rejection. Express streams, not prescaled, at fixed thresholds, are used for calibration pourposes. Below a possible startup menu @1031 luminosity. Method to evaluate performance, using one m reconstructed in both Inner Detector (ID) and Muon Spectrometer (MS) as a tag, and the other requiring only the ID as a probe. This method can be applied to extract MS trigger efficiency directly from data. Event Filter The Muon Event Filter consists of four algorithms: SegmentFinder, TrackBuilder, Extrapolator and Combiner. They are wrappers for the offline reconstruction tools. EF processing normally starts from muFast result but, for debug purpose, can use LVL1 RoI directly. Segments are made first, using MDT precision hits. Tracks are made from segments, adding information from other muon detectors. Tag combined triggered muon ID+MS pT > 20 GeV |η| < 2.4 single beam data Tracks, eta # Segments Probe ID track pT > TPcut |Mμμ - MZ| < 10 GeV Δφ > 0.3 Beam coming from z<0 TPcut = 20 GeV trigger measurement over threshold TPcut = 1 GeV for integrated trigger efficiency Number of segments reconstructed by the SegmentFinder Tracks reconstructed by the TrackBuilder Allows threshold trigger efficiency measurements with good precision when compared to MC generator. The extrapolation to the interaction point uses a parametrization of the energy loss in the calorimeter, for faster computation. Information from the inner detector EF algorithms is then added to make a combined track. The parameters of the tracks are finally obtained after refitting the hits actually used. A trigger chain example = Trigger Element Trigger software works with objects called Trigger Elements (TE). Feature Extraction Algorithms (FEX) are activated by input TE produced by previous trigger levels. FEX are able to access the detector data and compute physical quantities, Features, that are then attached to the output TE. Selection is done in Hypothesis Algorithms, that can validate or reject TE that do not satisfy trigger requirements. = Feature Extraction Algorithm tt events = Hypothesis Algorithm = Feature pT, h, f Minimum pT In-flight decays of pions and kaons are the main source of LVL1 trigger rate at low pT. One goal of the muon HLT is to reject such fake muons while having high selection efficiency on prompt muons. Hypothetical chains like the one on the left can be used for this purpose.
