The Trigger of the Atlas Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
With the high bunch-crossing and interaction rates and potentially large event sizes the experiments at the LHC challenge data acquisition and trigger systems. Within the ATLAS experiment, a multi-level trigger system based on hardware and software is employed to cope with the task of event-rate reduction. This review article gives an overview of the trigger of the ATLAS experiment highlighting the design principles and the implementation of the system and provides references to more detailed information. In addition, first trigger-performance studies and an outlook on the ATLAS event-selection strategy are presented.

The ATLAS hadronic tau trigger
The extensive tau physics programs of the ATLAS experiment relies heavily on trigger to select hadronic decays of tau lepton. Such a trigger is implemented in ATLAS to efficiently collect signal events, while keeping the rate of multi-jet background within the allowed bandwidth. This contribution summarizes the performance of the ATLAS hadronic tau trigger system during 2011 data taking period ...
متن کاملPerformance and Improvements of the ATLAS Jet Trigger System
In 2011-2012 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provided proton bunch crossings every 50 ns with up to 40 interactions every crossing. These unprecedented conditions posed stringent demands on the trigger system of the ATLAS experiment, which must provide a fast rejection of background events while maintaining a high efficiency for physics signals of interest. This note focuses on the jet trigger ...

Hadronic tau decays play a crucial role in Standard Model measurements as well 6 as in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model by the ATLAS experiment at the Large 7 Hadron Collider (LHC). However, hadronic tau decays are difficult to identify and trigger on due 8 to their resemblance to QCD jets. Given the large production cross section of QCD processes, 9 designing and operating a tr...
متن کامل5 The first - level trigger of ATLAS
Due to the huge interaction rates and the tough experimental environment of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √ s = 14 TeV and luminosities of up to 1034cm−2s−1, one of the experimental challenges at the LHC is the triggering of interesting events. In the ATLAS experiment a three-level trigger system is foreseen for this purpose. The first-level trigger is implemented in custom hardware ...
متن کاملTrigger logic of the ATLAS First Level Muon Trigger
We present the design of the first level muon trigger in the central toroid of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The trigger is based on fast, finely segmented gaseous detector, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), to unambigously identify the interaction bunch crossing and to provide a sharp threshold over a large interval of transverse momentum. We describe the logic scheme ...
