V13/V14 QCD Andrew Brandt, UTA Collab TB 9/23/2004 V13: New dijet mass triggers (Hong Luo, Don Lincoln) JT_95 New L2, prescaled at high lum (>55E30) JT_125 New L1,L2 unprescaled at all lum V14 FPD triggers

FPD Trigger Manager Inputs FPD_LM 1x96 3x96 1x96 FPD_DFE TMTM LM 1)FPD_LM Information on which detectors are hit and halo 2) LM pass through 16 LM and/or terms includes GapN GapS GAPSN SI etc. 3)DFE information from scintillating fiber detectors, forseen to give , t now using segment information, multiplicity

Input information: Currently no global run trigger capability Vertex board is delayed (may now be finished during shutdown) DFE boards and TM work and ready to be commissioned Main background not from pileup (multiple interactions) but from halo spray Strategy: Instead of calculating bin of  and t, use fiber hit patterns to demand 2 or 3 out of 3 planes of each detector are hit. Replaces trigger scintillator, simpler algo Use multiplicity cut to reject halo spray, code several multiplicity levels, can reject on multiplicity in adjacent detectors NOTE fiber ADC threshold must be high enough to avoid noise, low enough to retain efficiency and allow vetoing of halo One advantage is pot positions not needed at trigger level 2004 FPD Trigger Strategy

For normalization purposes each trigger is assigned an exposure group and live time is measured for that group—different beam conditions require different groups Only 8 exposure groups (6 used), we have more combos so must operate outside exposure groups—new value NOLUM (approved 1/04) Another issue is dynamic downloading, which allows multiple global runs This would allow us to take elastic or other monitoring data in separate global run, so as to avoid general reco; streaming and other issues with this Once FPD DFE/TM is ready we are in principle restricted to dedicated special runs until these other issues are resolved Exposure Groups etc.

Proceed with DFE/TM debugging during shutdown Elizabeth indicates NOLUM work will start in ~2 months and take 2-4 weeks to complete Since current FPD commissioning is special run intensive and new elastic triggers with adjacent spectrometer veto have rates around 1 Hz, we propose adding an elastic trigger to global list in V13.x. (REQUEST TO TB) If we do this carefully it will only take one exposure group and allow us to obtain good elastic sample at lums <40E30 Interim Plan

1.DFE/TM chain tested by Duncan with help from Jamieson and Jeff Temple, works with debugging Johnson counter firmware. 2.Two versions of DFE firmware developed by Mario and Wagner. Version 3: One spectrometer only, passes hit fiber info to TM. This version was simulated, implemented, and tested successfully at combined test stand but failed at platform. V3 failures traced to delays between different inputs to DFE, Tom is working on solution similar to TM, which waits for all inputs before processing Version 4: Three spectrometers on one DFE, includes some extra bits to simplify TM algorithms. This version failed some timing tests upon implementation and needs further development (proceeding in parallel), also requires merging of 3 spectrometer bits (Ricardo) 3. Jeff produced first version of TM firmware to operate with V3, Mario has version to operate with V4 (not yet implemented.) Trigger Commissioning Progress

DFE will pass word for each spectrometer indicating coincidence of two detectors tight track: exactly 1 hit with 3/3 fine segments in each detector medium : >0 with 2/3 + <20 wide segments loose: => 0 with 2/3 + <20 wide segments At TM we would form terms DIFF=any spectrometer track DIFFQ=any quadrupole spectrometer track (could be false if >1 or 2 on A or P side) DIFFD=dipole track ELAS=AU-PD or AD-PU or AI-PO or AO-PI DPOM=AU-(PU or PI or PO) or AD-(PD or PI or PO) or AI-(PU or PI or PD) or AO-(PU or PD or PO)+DI -(PU or PD or PO or PI) OVER=AU-DI or AD-DI or AO-DI or AI-DI (over-constrained track for alignment) V4 TM Algorithm

Tentative L1 FPD trigger list (V14) 1) elastic (diag opposite spectrometers) +GAPSN 2) soft diffraction (single spectrometers)+GAPS or GAPN 3) overconstrained track (pbar in quadrupole +dipole spectrometers)+GAPN 4) double pom (up-up, dn-dn etc.)+GAPSN if needed 5) CJT(2,3) + FPD Track (DIFFQ or DIFFD) +GAPS or GAPN if needed 6) CEM(1,3) +FPD track +GAP? 7) TTK(1,1,5) +FPD track +GAP? 8) MU(1) +FPD track +GAP? Monitor will trigger likely be necessary, will need to study with special runs. Also rates are not yet known. If 4 (dpom) it is not low enough to run unprescaled we would need to repeat 5-8 with two FPD tracks. Possibly 1-3+any monitors are best done in a separate global run since they will not need general farm reconstruction. FPD Trigger List
