2. Outline Motivation of trigger studies Motivation of trigger studies Environment for trigger studies Environment for trigger studies J/ψ trigger wih MC PID J/ψ trigger wih MC PID J/ψ trigger wih real PID J/ψ trigger wih real PID J/ψ efficiency J/ψ efficiency Alla Maevskaya INR RAS 11 March 2009

3. Motivation J/ψ and Ψ’ multiplicity is very low - 1.92 10-5 for J/ψ and 2.24 10-7 Ψ’for CBM energies 2.24 10-7 Ψ’ for CBM energies Measurements will be performed with the highest available interaction rates available interaction rates Fast and efficient event selection based on J/ψ trigger signatureis necessary to reduce the data volume signature is necessary to reduce the data volume For 10Mhz iteration rate and storage rate – 25khz trigger with suppressed factor at least 400 for mbias events ( or 40 for central) needed.

9. Conclusion necessary suppression factor is easily reached by selecting events with 2 electrons at Pt > 1 GeV/c any sign any origin necessary suppression factor is easily reached by selecting events with 2 electrons at Pt > 1 GeV/c any sign any origin very soft thresholds for electron identification methods keeping 99% of j/psi electrons in TRD is enough to achieve needed for data recording very soft thresholds for electron identification methods keeping 99% of j/psi electrons in TRD is enough to achieve needed for data recording Alla Maevskaya INR RAS 11 March 2009
