Specs : a Serial Protocol for Experiment Control System in Lhcb
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes the SPECS protocol and its implementation. The SPECS is a 10 Mbit/s serial bus, designed to be simple, cheap, reliable and to work in radiation sensitive environments. It is mainly used to download and read back the configuration of the electronics located on the detector. It is made of Master PCI boards and slave daughter boards, provides I2C, JTAG and parallel interfaces for the users, and is delivered with a software patch.

The Level-0 Muon Trigger for the LHCb Experiment
A very compact architecture has been developed for the first level Muon Trigger of the LHCb experiment that processes 40 × 10 proton-proton collisions per second. For each collision, it receives 3.2 kBytes of data and it finds straight tracks within a 1.2 μs latency. The trigger implementation is massively parallel, pipelined and fully synchronous with the LHC clock. It relies on 248 high densi...
متن کاملThe high level trigger for rare decays at LHCb
The LHCb experiment is dedicated to the study of CP violation and rare B decays. A trigger system is developed to filter these decays from the LHC background environment. An overview of the LHCb trigger strategy is given in this paper as well as an illustration on how the trigger selects the rare decays B d → K * 0 + − and B s → and their control samples, which are used to parametrize possible ...
متن کاملOVERVIEW OF LHCb HERVÉ TERRIER (on behalf of the LHCb collaboration)

متن کاملThe Lhcb Online Luminosity Monitoring and Control
The LHCb experiment searches for New Physics by precision measurements in heavy flavour physics. The optimization of the data taking conditions relies on accurate monitoring of the instantaneous luminosity, and many physics measurements rely on accurate knowledge of the integrated luminosity. Most of the measurements have potential systematic effects associated with pileup and changing running ...
متن کاملTrigger-less readout architecture for the upgrade of the LHCb experiment at CERN F Alessio Development of a Standardised Readout System for Active Pixel Sensors in HV/HR-CMOS Technologies for ATLAS Inner Detector Upgrades
The LHCb experiment is upgrading part of its detector and the entire readout system towards a full 40 MHz readout system in order to run between five and ten times its initial design luminosity and increase its trigger efficiency. In this paper, the new timing , trigger and control distribution system for such an upgrade is reviewed with particular attention given to the distribution of the clo...
