3. 3 Simple trigger for spark chamber set-up

4. 4 Dead time Experiments frozen from trigger to end of readout –Trigger rate with no deadtime = R per sec. –Dead time / trigger =  sec. –For 1 second of live time = 1 + R  seconds –Live time fraction = 1/(1 + R  ) –Real trigger rate = R/(1 + R  ) per sec.

5. 5 Trigger systems 1980’s and 90’s bigger experiments  more data per event higher luminosities  more triggers per second –both led to increased fractional deadtime use multi-level triggers to reduce dead-time –first level - fast detectors, fast algorithms –higher levels can use data from slower detectors and more complex algorithms to obtain better event selection/background rejection

6. 6 Trigger systems 1990’s and 2000’s Dead-time was not the only problem Experiments focussed on rarer processes –Need large statistics of these rare events –But increasingly difficult to select the interesting events –DAQ system (and off-line analysis capability) under increasing strain - limiting useful event statistics This is a major issue at hadron colliders, but will also be significant at ILC Use the High Level Trigger to reduce the requirements for –The DAQ system –Off-line data storage and off-line analysis

10. 10 Typical architecture 2000+

11. 11 Level 1 (Sometimes called Level-0 - LHCb) Time:one  very few microseconds Standard electronics modules for small systems Dedicated logic for larger systems –ASIC - Application Specific Integrated Circuits –FPGA - Field Programmable Gate Arrays Reduced granularity and precision –calorimeter energy sums –tracking by masks Event data stored in front-end electronics (at LHC use pipeline as collision rate shorter than Level-1 decision time)

12. 12 Level 2 1) few microseconds (10-100) –hardwired, fixed algorithm, adjustable parameters 2) few milliseconds (1-100) –Dedicated microprocessors, adjustable algorithm 3-D, fine grain calorimetry tracking, matching Topology –Different sub-detectors handled in parallel Primitives from each detector may be combined in a global trigger processor or passed to next level

13. 13 Level 2 - cont’d 3) few milliseconds (10-100) - 2008 –Processor farm with Linux PC’s –Partial events received with high-speed network –Specialised algorithms –Each event allocated to a single processor, large farm of processors to handle rate –If separate Level 2, data from each event stored in many parallel buffers (each dedicated to a small part of the detector)

14. 14 Level 3 millisecs to seconds processor farm –microprocessors/emulators/workstations –Now standard server PC’s full or partial event reconstruction –after event building (collection of all data from all detectors) Each event allocated to a single processor, large farm of processors to handle rate

15. 15 Summary of Introduction For many physics analyses, aim is to obtain as high statistics as possible for a given process –We cannot afford to handle or store all of the data a detector can produce! What does the trigger do –select the most interesting events from the myriad of events seen I.e. Obtain better use of limited output band-width Throw away less interesting events Keep all of the good events(or as many as possible) –But note must get it right - any good events thrown away are lost for ever! High level trigger allows much more complex selection algorithms

16. Case study of the ATLAS HLT system Concentrate on issues relevant for ATLAS (CMS very similar issues), but try to address some more general points

17. 17 Starting points for any HLT system physics programme for the experiment –what are you trying to measure accelerator parameters –what rates and structures detector and trigger performance –what data is available –what trigger resources do we have to use it

18. 18 Interesting events are buried in a sea of soft interactions Higgs production High energy QCD jet production Physics at the LHC B physics top physics

19. 19 The LHC and ATLAS/CMS LHC has –design luminosity 10 34 cm -2 s -1 (In 2008 from 10 30 - 10 32 ?) –bunch separation 25 ns (bunch length ~1 ns) This results in – ~ 23 interactions / bunch crossing ~ 80 charged particles (mainly soft pions) / interaction ~2000 charged particles / bunch crossing Total interaction rate10 9 sec -1 –b-physicsfraction ~ 10 -3 10 6 sec -1 –t-physicsfraction ~ 10 -8 10 sec -1 –Higgsfraction ~ 10 -11 10 -2 sec -1

20. 20 Physics programme Higgs signal extraction important but very difficult Also there is lots of other interesting physics –B physics and CP violation –quarks, gluons and QCD –top quarks –SUSY –‘new’ physics Programme will evolve with: luminosity, HLT capacity and understanding of the detector –low luminosity (2008 - 2009) high PT programme (Higgs etc.) b-physics programme (CP measurements) –high luminosity (2010?) high PT programme (Higgs etc.) searches for new physics

21. 21 Trigger strategy at LHC To avoid being overwhelmed use signatures with small backgrounds –Leptons –High mass resonances –Heavy quarks The trigger selection looks for events with: –Isolated leptons and photons, –  -, central- and forward-jets –Events with high E T –Events with missing E T

Hierarchical data-flow On-detector electronics: Pipelines Event fragments buffered in parallel Full event in processor farm

24. 24 Selected (inclusive) signatures

25. 25 Trigger design - Level-1 Level-1 –sets the context for the HLT –reduces triggers to ~75 kHz –has a very short time budget few micro-sec (ATLAS/CMS ~2.5 - much used in cable delays!) Detectors used must provide data very promptly, must be simple to analyse –Coarse grain data from calorimeters –Fast parts of muon spectrometer (I.e. not precision chambers) –NOT precision trackers - too slow, too complex –(LHCb does use some simple tracking data from their VELO detector to veto events with more than 1 primary vertex) –(CMS plans track trigger for sLHC - L1 time => ~6 micro-s) –Proposed FP420 detectors provide data too late

26. 26 ATLAS Level-1 trigger system Calorimeter and muon –trigger on inclusive signatures muons; em/tau/jet calo clusters; missing and sum E T Hardware trigger –Programmable thresholds –Selection based on multiplicities and thresholds

28. 28 ATLAS Level 1 Muon trigger RPC: Restive Plate ChambersTGC: Thin Gap ChambersMDT: Monitored Drift Tubes RPC - Trigger Chambers - TGC Measure muon momentum with very simple tracking in a few planes of trigger chambers

29. 29 Level-1 Selection The Level-1 trigger - an “or” of a large number of inclusive signals - set to match the current physics priorities and beam conditions Precision of cuts at Level-1 is generally limited Adjust the overall Level-1 accept rate (and the relative frequency of different triggers) by –Adjusting thresholds –Pre-scaling (e.g. only accept every 10th trigger of a particular type) higher rate triggers Can be used to include a low rate of calibration events Menu can be changed at the start of run –Pre-scale factors may change during the course of a run

31. 31 Trigger design - Level-2 Level-2 reduce triggers to ~2 kHz –Note CMS does not have a physically separate Level-2 trigger, but the HLT processors include a first stage of Level-2 algorithms Level-2 trigger has a short time budget –ATLAS ~40 milli-sec average Note for Level-1 the time budget is a hard limit for every event, for the High Level Trigger it is the average that matters, so a some events can take several times the average, provided thay are a minority Full detector data is available, but to minimise resources needed: –Limit the data accessed –Only unpack detector data when it is needed –Use information from Level-1 to guide the process –Analysis proceeds in steps with possibility to reject event after each step –Use custom algorithms

32. 32 Regions of Interest The Level-1 selection is dominated by local signatures (I.e. within Region of Interest - RoI) –Based on coarse granularity data from calo and mu only Typically, there are 1-2 RoI/event ATLAS uses RoI’s to reduce network b/w and processing power required

33. 33 Trigger design - Level-2 - cont’d Processing scheme –extract features from sub-detector data in each RoI –combine features from one RoI into object –combine objects to test event topology Precision of Level-2 cuts –Emphasis is on very fast algorithms with reasonable accuracy Do not include many corrections which may be applied off-line –Calibrations and alignment available for trigger not as precise as ones available for off-line

35. 35 CMS Event Building CMS perform Event Building after Level-1 This simplifies the architecture, but places much higher demand on technology: –Network traffic ~100 GB/s Use Myrinet instead of GbE for the EB network Plan a number of independent slices with barrel shifter to switch to a new slice at each event –Time will tell which philosophy is better

43. 43 LHCb Trigger Menu

44. 44 Matching problem Background Physics channel Off-line On-line

45. 45 Matching problem (cont.) ideally –off-line algorithms select phase space which shrink-wraps the physics channel –trigger algorithms shrink-wrap the off-line selection in practice, this doesn’t happen –need to match the off-line algorithm selection For this reason many trigger studies quote trigger efficiency wrt events which pass off-line selection –BUT off-line can change algorithm, re-process and recalibrate at a later stage SO, make sure on-line algorithm selection is well known, controlled and monitored

46. 46 Selection and rejection as selection criteria are tightened –background rejection improves –BUT event selection efficiency decreases

47. 47 Selection and rejection Example of a ATLAS Event Filter (I.e. Level-3) study of the effectiveness of various discriminants used to select 25 GeV electrons from a background of dijets

48. 48 Other issues for the Trigger Efficiency and Monitoring –In general need high trigger efficiency –Also for many analyses need a well known efficiency Monitor efficiency by various means –Overlapping triggers –Pre-scaled samples of triggers in tagging mode (pass-through) Final detector calibration and alignment constants not available immediately - keep as up-to-date as possible and allow for the lower precision in the trigger cuts when defining trigger menus and in subsequent analyses Code used in trigger needs to be very robust - low memory leaks, low crash rate, fast Beam conditions and HLT resources will evolve over several years (for both ATLAS and CMS) –In 2008 luminosity low, but also HLT capacity will be < 50% of full system (funding constraints)

49. 49 Summary High-level triggers allow complex selection procedures to be applied as the data is taken –Thus allow large numbers of events to be accumulated, even in presence of very large backgrounds –Especially important at LHC - but significant at most accelerators The trigger stages - in the ATLAS example –Level 1 uses inclusive signatures muons; em/tau/jet calo clusters; missing and sum E T –Level 2 refines Level 1 selection, adds simple topology triggers, vertex reconstruction, etc –Level 3 refines Level 2 adds more refined topology selection Trigger menus need to be defined, taking into account: –Physics priorities, beam conditions, HLT resources Include items for monitoring trigger efficiency and calibration Must get it right - any events thrown away are lost for ever!

57. 57 Event’s Eye View - step-1 At each beam crossing latch data into detector front end After processing, data put into many parallel pipelines - moves along the pipeline at every bunch crossing, falls out the far end after 2.5 microsecs Also send calo + mu trigger data to Level-1

58. 58 Event’s Eye View - step-2 The Level-1 Central Trigger Processor combines the information from the Muon and Calo triggers and when appropriate generates the Level-1 Accept (L1A) The L1A is distributed in real-time via the TTC system to the detector front-ends to send data from the accepted event to the detector ROD’s (Read-Out Drivers) –Note must arrive before data has dropped out of the pipe- line - hence hard dead-line of 2.5 micro-secs –The TTC system (Trigger, Timing and Control) is a CERN system used by all of the LHC experiments. Allows very precise real-time data distribution of small data packets Detector ROD’s receive data, process and reformat it as necessary and send via fibre links to TDAQ ROS

59. 59 Event’s Eye View - Step-3 At L1A the different parts of LVL1 also send RoI data to the RoI Builder (RoIB), which combines the information and sends as a single packet to a Level-2 Supervisor PC –The RoIB is implemented as a number of VME boards with FPGAs to identify and combine the fragments coming from the same event from the different parts of Level-1

LVL2 supervisor selects one of the processors in the LVL2 farm and sends it the RoI information. LVL2 processor requests data from the ROSs as needed (possibly in several steps), produces an accept or reject and informs the LVL2 supervisor. Result of processing is stored in pseudo-ROS (pROS) for an accept. Reduces network traffic to ~2 GB/s c.f. ~150 GB/s if do full event build LVL2 supervisor passes decision to the DataFlow Manager (controls Event Building). Step-4

The SFI sends requests to all ROSs for data of the event to be built. Completion of building is reported to the DataFlow Manager. For rejected events and for events for which event Building has completed the DataFlow Manager sends "clears" to the ROSs (for 100 - 300 events Together).
