2. The ATLAS Trigger  Three Level Trigger  Lvl1 - Hardware  Lvl2 - Regions of Interest + Processors  Lvl3 - Processor Farm  Lvl2 + Lvl3 = HLT (High Level Trigger)

3. Features Lvl1 Trigger Calorimeter electromagnetic - cluster with hadronic veto jet trigger - hadronic cluster & window algorithm particle trigger - jet trigger with isolation  system HLT Trigger - Data available at full readout resolution

4. Rate Limitations on Lvl1 75 kHz upper limit due to front end electronics ->100 kHz with deadtime ~44 kHz with safety factor due to uncertainty in rates ~25 kHz with cost-driven deferrals of system components ~10 kHz with deferrals and safety factor

5. Rate Limitations on HLT HLT/DAQ TP (2000) ~540 Hz to storage New Guidelines ~200 Hz to storage due to offline computing considerations

6. Luminosity Scenarios ATLAS Level1 TDR L~1x10 33 cm -2 s -1 for first year of operation Low luminosity - b-physics program L~1x10 34 cm -2 s -1 thereafter High luminosity - discovery physics Post 2001 - Initial L~2x10 33 cm -2 s -1

7. Nomenclature Lvl1 - Capital letters HLT - small letters Isolation -> I E -> E T J -> Jet xE -> Missing E T Number in front indicates no. of objects e.g. 2J55 is 2 jets with E T > 55 GeV at Lvl1 2em15i is 2 isolated em deposits with E T >15 GeV in HLT

10. Things to note Rates are dominated by single  and e To reduce rates these thresholds must be raised Light Higgs is impacted and B physics program is jeopardized Monitoring and calibration triggers ~10 - 20%. CDF & DØ Run II are higher~30%

13. Additional Triggers High priority, unprescaled, discovery potential, minimal additions to rate Most prominent at Lvl1: EM30,40,50,60 and 2EM30 with partly relaxed isolation criteria Additional Jet, Energy and  triggers are under study

14. Prescaled Physics, Calibration and Monitoring Triggers Extend physics measurements to lower E T, for example Calibrate efficiency of more restrictive triggers Calibration triggers for energy scale, J/ , .Z- >ee, ,W->jj etc. Minimum bias triggers Monitor triggers for luminosity, vertex position This subject is just starting to be addressed

15. Conclusions Trigger Menus exist for most likely scenarios at beginning of run Absolute rate estimates are thought to be known within a factor of 2. There are uncertainties due to QCD processes and machine backgrounds Work on Monitoring and Calibration Triggers is just starting
