LHC Physics

1 LHC Year = 10 5 pb -1

Collecting and Analyzing the Physics will be difficult... Muon Chambers will clearly play a major role in LHC experiments

Endcap Cathode Strip Chambers

Electronics Overview -Cathode Strip Chambers 6 layer modules anode wire hits in azimuth direction induced cathode strips in radial direction Environment is Demanding Singles Rate ~100 KHz/strip Track Rate 300 KHz/chamber - Main Functions of Electronics generate trigger primatives for Level-1 - identify local charged track segments using both cathode and anode info acquire precise muon information for offline analysis - cathode strips: precision azimuthal position from interpolation of induced strip charges - anode wires: precision timing; course radial position from ganged wires.
