1. SUPERB TRIGGER …. A. BUDANO – INFN ROMA 3 ON BEHALF OF ROMA1, ROMA3, LNF, NA 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF 13-16 December 2011

2. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 Let’s remember the specs in SuperB : re-implement BaBar L1 trigger with some improvements Shorter latency (~6  s instead of 12  s) Higher sampling frequencies (DCH and EMC) 2-d map for calorimeter Possible additions SVT trigger Bhabha Veto Do we need an absolute time stamp at the trigger level? Challenge To keep the event loss due to dead time below 1% => a maximum of ~60ns “per-event dead time” is allowed in trigger and FCTS. This requirements pushes for trigger time resolution of about 10-15 ns it could be hard to reach. This requested has been partly eased. Latest studies from D. Breton slides S.

4. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 Calorimeter trigger (requirements)  It works independently from the DC trigger.  It’s based on the topology of the energy deposits.  We would like to have an architecture similar to DC in order to use the same HW.  As in the case of DC one it should have a shorter latency and a good trigger time resolution (about 10 -15 ns).

5. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 What we learnt from CsI  Different measures in different conditions on single crystals ruled out the possibility to use PiN diodes or even APD. The measured resolution spanned from 30 to 50 ns. See P. Branchini London or this report from V. Bocci.

6. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 What about the detectors?  We have learnt that SVT DAQ window is 300 ns. Still demanding but not so bad. The limit is the intrinsic jitter of the sub-detector.  For the DC the DAQ window is about 1  s.  The minimum DAQ window belongs to IFR and it is 150 ns (desired) 100 ns (is the real minimum).

8. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 EMC Topology  There are several mechanical constraints from barrel EMC this implays 9 degree modularity for the EMC (3 crystals in .  The  at the calorimeter covered by each card reading the DC had better match with the calorimeter  granularity. 48 channels reading a supercell would imply a coverage of 36 degrees.  Each DC FE TSF treats the signal from 48 or 64 channels (this matches the DC FE board). 480 towers from the Barrel EMC

10. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 Let’s follow the trigger path 480 LVDS link in the barrel EMC. The information Stored is the «trigger time assertion» and energy in the width of the signal. An LVDS like signal driven by an actel could be good candidate to do That, if a better solution cannot be found. Concentrator: Link reduction stage To trigger crates Here we could be far enough or even shielded from radiation. Moreover this link reduction is not strictly necessary.

The Master(s) have the Full EMC informations. Possibly far from detector. We should not have problems from radiation. We are studying the possibility to use  TCA as a backplane.

12. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 EMC trigger algorithm (BaBar)  Tower energy was added in  bins over the entire barrel.  A Y sum over the two rearmost tower in the barrel was defined.  A X sum for the forward end-cap. Each of these sum was then compared with an energy threshold corresponding to:  E clu > 0.120 GeV (Minimum ionizing M cluster)  E clu > 0.160 GeV (E Cluster)  E clu > 0.5 GeV (G cluster)  E clu > 0.120 GeV (X cluster forward end-cap)  E clu > 2.0 GeV (Y cluster backward end-cap)

14. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 EMC Open problems:  Shorter latency  trigger time jitter (in BaBar 1  s) area aiming at some 10 ns. As long as latency is concerned: It’s conditioned by the trigger strategy exploited, Moreover in BaBar it was 7.2  s.

15. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 Barrel CsI (Tl doped) original BaBar 3 thresholds applied to the signal of the tower. A FIR Filter with 8 parameters was applied to the signal. Its zero crossing occurred at roughly a fixed time distance from the start of the signal, it was used to gate the threshold information. Due to this mechanism the time resolution was hundreds of ns. P. D. Dauncey et Al., “Design and performance of the level 1 calorimeter trigger for the BABAR detector” (2001) The plot shows the difference between the EMC trigger time and the DC trigger time.  +  - events used to select good resolution in DC.

16. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 EMC BaBar strategy for trigger assertion comments  Trigger latency was 7.2  s, 6  s seems reachable with this approach.  It turned out the the 1  s maximum trigger time jitter was NOT dominated by the detector. Nevertheless a contribution spanning from 30 ns to 50 ns is has been measured.

Moreover A1 has 8 radial wires rather than 4. From the trigger point of view We could divide A1 in 2 superlayers and have 11 equivalent SLs structure.

Otherwise the «standard» solution would be welcome. DC SuperB present design

23. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 RF emulator needed @tbeam  We have also built a ring oscillator to emulate RF when a machine trigger occurs.  And a transition board to feed Virtex6 demo board with LVDS signals.

24. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 Track Segment Finder (TSF)  The problem of this trigger module is to find the best track segment(s) in the monitored supercell. A rad tollerant actel could do the job.  In BaBar the signal delivered from each single wire was sent to a discriminator sampled ad 3.7 MHz. Hits were then broadcasted to the TSFs (24 same strategy would imply 64 links in SuperB) through optical links.  In SuperB we might have an higher sampling to improve the trigger time resolution. Nevertheless since we have 132 sources (worst case) the link we could use needs in principle a low bandwidth. Let’s take for example a 14.8 MHz sampling. Each link delivers the information of 64 wires to the DC trigger crate. So the bandwidth is:14.8MHz*64 = 947 Mbit/s. I think a more robust though less performant link could be enough if a better «rad hard» solution can’t be found. This link in principle could avoid using lasers and photon detector.  we could also integrate the TSF on the FE DC crates. This allows us to shrink latency. A higher sampling could be allowed and in principle even a clockless discriminator could be used. The trigger time jitter, PT and zed coordinate measurement should in principle benefit from that. We will study the 2 options exploiting the LNF prototype.

The other 4 pattern can be found via a parity transformation. So in this example there are 8 patterns per pivot tube and 4 pivot tubes. In total 32 combinations. 5 bits are enough to code the info. 14.8 MHz sampling means 74 Mbit/s link.

Different latency and trigger jitter time were determined.

29. A. Budano - INFN Roma 3 - 2 nd SuperB Collaboration Meeting @ INFN-LNF, 13-16 December 2011 What could be done (if necessary) From BaBar note 319 23/8/1996 Weight each track segment latency with its own error. Apply a weighted average on all the gathered TSFs Sigma is about 14.8 ns when sampling at 3.7 MHz and 10 when sampling at 7.4 MHz We could use an Hw processor on the trigger crate to implement this algorithm. A drawback: the precision depends on TSF number: physics of the final state
