8. 15/11/2004NIKHEF SAC, Sijbrand de Jong 8 Trigger and DAQ DAQ can handle bigger rates than foreseen (after extensive work) Read-out dead time of SMT limiting 1 st level trigger Trigger needs additional functionality to cope with higher Luminosity and to allow lower thresholds, e.g. on jets Trigger upgrade is proceeding to plan 2 nd level Silicon Track Trigger has been commissioned NIKHEF contribution to STT

9. 15/11/2004NIKHEF SAC, Sijbrand de Jong 9 Reconstruction & MC Reconstruction improves continuously All data has been reprocessed (with p14) to physics quality (20% off-site) All data will be reprocessed again (with p17) to improve physics quality(100% off-site) >10 9 events to be processed Processing speed crucial(need to improve significantly) GRID usage essential MC producing about 10 6 events per week (world-wide) (e.g. at NIKHEF fully gridified)
