uGT: upgrade Global Trigger

3. achieved in 2016 uGT deployed at start of year
gradual improvement of monitoring
trigger-rate panel
multi-board running (using two MP7) introduced in September
continuous evolution of menus
10 versions for pp
3 versions for Heavy-Ions
invariant-mass trigger algos deployed
new trigger object collections
ETT_EM (total transverse energy only from ECAL)
ETM_HF (missing transverse energy, including HF)
TOWERCOUNT (number of calo towers above threshold)

4. to do for 2017: firmware (1)
invariant mass: include cut on pt of two-body system
transverse mass
overlap removal
jets – eg, jets – tau, tau – eg
additional object collections
“fat” jets
maybe energy sums in limited eta range?
suppress spurious trigger counts from calibration
was delayed because of inconsistent BGO definitions between AMC13 and MP7
maybe double-b-tagging
two muons in a jet, e.g. for H  b b

5. to do for 2017: firmware (2)
allow using leading few objects of collections only
instead of full collection
to save resources

6. to do for 2017: software streamline software
e.g. easier use of bunch-crossing mask
keep Trigger Menu Editor (TME) up to date with evolving firmware capabilities
improve monitoring
compare Calo Layer-2 and uGMT readout data with uGT input readout data
compare AMC13 global FINOR “out” with TCDS FINOR “in”
publish in DQM

7. to do for 2017: hardware install third MP7 board
possibly even more, up to 6 maximum; depending on inputs availability
install additional FinOR-merger AMC502
for prescale column preview
additional patch panels
for more than 3 MP7 boards
equip uGT test crate with some fiber inputs
as far as available; for testing purposes
