1. Alexei Safonov (Texas A&M University) For the EMU community

2. 1. Improve redundancy Add station ME-4/2 covering  =1.1-1.8 Critical for momentum resolution 2. Upgrade electronics to sustain higher rates New DCFEB boards for station ME-1/1  Also a must for increased latency Forces upgrade of downstream EMU electronics  Particularly TMB and DMB Upgrade MPC and CSCTF to handle higher stub rate 3. Extend CSC Efficiency into  =2.1-2.4 region Robust operation requires TMB upgrade, unganging strips in ME-1a, new DCFEBs, upgrade CSCTF+MPC  Possibly not all at the same time  Notes: Points (2) and (3) are achieved simultaneously Smooth transition to Phase II (no re-upgrades)

3.  Although hands down the best in CMS, our SLHC simulation has shortcomings: No neutron backgrounds No beam backgrounds  These can be large effects: Note 2002/007: at LHC Lumi neutron rate is +25% of prompt Could be +250% at SLHC (assuming every neutron gives 2-3 hits, quadratic dependence - ask D. Acosta for details)  To offset this shortcomings, I use prompt-only rates from simulation w/ 400 PU as a conservative (?) estimate for prompt+non-prompt rates with ~100PU

4. ME4/2 upgrade R-Z cross-section “Empty” YE3 disk ready for ME4/2

5. 5  Efficiency gaps for good quality CSC TF tracks disappear with addition of ME4/2

6. ME4/2 Upgrade Motivation  Triggering with & without the ME4/2 upgrade: Level 1 trigger threshold is reduced from 48  18 GeV/c Target Rate 5 kHz Ingo Bloch, Norbert Neumeister, Rick Wilkinson

8.  Current CFEBs: Self-triggers (pre-LCT) and awaits L1 Accept SCA: analog charge storage  96 capacitors per channel - bottleneck  SLHC: 10% of the time SCA overused  Pure electronics limitation: ME-1/1 – highest rate, needs to be replaced in Phase I

9.  Replace Conventional ADC and SCA storage with Flash ADC and Digital Storage Deadtimeless, no rate worries Similar cost to old system Fairly radical design, i.e. couldn’t build 8 years ago  Complex board: analog and digital in one (noise!)  Output: skewclear (CFEB)  fiber (DCFEB)  DCFEB upgrade forces upgrade of TMB and DMB

10.  Momentum resolution determined by nearest station  Trigger stub finding efficiency: Green – default CSC trigger Red – tune current TMB to include high eta At higher rate pulls down efficiency in the bulk (ME-1b) Independent of DCFEB issue, TMB mezzanine needs replacement Current FPGA full

11.  High-  section of ME1/1 Cathode strips are currently ganged 3:1  Challenge for CSC TF: Even with a new TMB a triple ambiguity  Increased combinatorics, larger rate if try all three  Need to ungang ME-1a Couple with CFEB upgrade: 5 CFEBs  7 DCFEBs Channel 16 … Electronics Channel 1 … … Strips: 1 16 17 32 33 48 …

12.  Main challenge is higher rate of stubs at higher luminosity CSCTF: needs more power and more links to handle higher rate of input stubs MPC: remove a bottleneck limit on the number of LCTs (now 3) Think of lepton jets from dark photons or NMSSM Higgs N(stubs) in ME1 Prob for 2  +PU ≥315% ≥43% Falls under the trigger group roof, but important for this discussion

13. #UpgradeMotivationConstraints 1Station ME-4/2 Trigger rate control in  =1.1-1.8 May or may not require a shutdown, requires electronics (new or from ME-1/1) 2Digital CFEBs: ME-1/1Old CFEBs can’t handle the rateShutdown for installation, finalized DCFEB version 3Ungang strips: ME-1aReduce ambiguity (and rate) for CSCTF, improve efficiency in  =2.1-2.4 Shutdown, DCFEBs on hand 4TMB (mezzanine) Required for triggering  =2.1-2.4, compatibility with DCFEBs Anytime if backwards compatible 5DMBCompatibility with DCFEBsAnytime if backwards compatible 6MPC and CSC TFHandle high rates of trigger stubAnytime if compatible with TMB  Q: Is the specific ordering important?

14.  Very productive meeting at Ohio State last week: Focus on electronics related issues A detailed plan developed including a schedule of first prototypes  E.g. DCFEB in Fall (OSU), TMB this Summer (TAMU)  Loopback, fiber, memory testing (Rice, UCLA, OSU, TAMU) Division of labor:  Radiation hardness tests for SEUs (NEU, UF) Interesting possibilities for new groups coming onboard, as well as backup scenarios planning

15. Now – 2012 Work on prototypes for DCFEB, TMB, DMB Radiation hardness studies Setup a facility for ME4/2 chamber production 2012 Shutdown Install mature electronics prototypes on ME-4/2 Rigorous testing and commissioning 2013-2015 Production of ME-4/2 chambers and electronics for ME-1/1 2015 Shutdown Install ME-4/2 and upgraded electronics (DCFEB, DMB, TMB) on ME-1/1, old ME-1/1 electronics goes onto ME-4/2 MPC and CSC TF upgrade 2015-2019 Enjoy the rich physics at Phase-I luminosity Production of electronics for Phase-II  In this scenario, bulk of the upgrades in 2015 Can we do better physics sooner? Maybe…

17.  Robust LCT triggering up to  =2.4 Remember: current TMB was never designed to go beyond 2.1 even for LHC luminosity Continuing triggering at high eta will cause large inefficiency in  =1.6 to 2.4  Could be 5% (using prompt-only PU50 as an estimate), could be to more (50% for prompt PU400) 17  No reason not to upgrade MPC and CSC TF at the same time

18.  Backwards compatibility Copper connections for old CFEBs Fiber inputs available for new dCFEBs  Easy upgrade installation Swap mezzanine cards Replace TMB front panels  New panel allows dCFEB fiber connector Can install one crate (9 boards) at a time, ~2 crates per day  Forward compatibility: New DCFEBs: plug in fibers and update the TMB firmware

19.  Feasibility studies by no means complete yet  Working on new mezzanine prototype (J. Gilmore) Schematic and layout work in progress A prototype planned to be made this summer  SNAP-12 fiber components on order  All other parts (FPGAs, etc) are in hand  Use Xilinx XC6VLX195T-2FFG1156CES Start backward compatibility tests  Current firmware being ported to Virtex-6 by UCLA  New firmware soon, TAMU is documenting the algorithm  Technical issues being studied: Heat distribution (regulator test board) Power (e.g. LV could need modifications), radiation hardness tests later  Production costs are estimated at $400k

20.  J. Hauser et al (UCLA)  D. Acosta, I. Furic, A. Madorsky (Florida)  B. Bylsma, S. Durkin (OSU)  P. Padley, M. Matveev (Rice)  J. Gilmore, V. Khotilovich, I. Suarez (TAMU)

21.  Plan of CSC upgrades well established: Shortcomings of the current system are well understood and have been studied in detail using simulation Solutions has been proposed and tested in simulation  Schedule has been re-synced with the machine plans and better analysis of available resources Additional resources are being identified including via new institutions coming onboard Planning includes more efficient separation of labor and closer collaboration on common tasks  New options are being considered aiming at improving detector and quality of data well before 2015
