SLHC Upgrade R&D Two Concerns about highest rate ME1/1 Chambers 1) CSC Trigger questionable for >2.1 - for rate split strips in half - for $$$ ganged strips 4 strip modulo 4 2) At SLHC Rates conservative estimate shows SCA overuse in ME1/1 at 10%! - neutron background not well known
Digital CFEB – A Nice Idea for the SLHC Replace Conventional ADC and SCA storage with Flash ADC and Digital Storage New System Deadtimeless, Removes rate worries Similar cost to old system Fairly Radical Idea – Couldn’t build 8 Years Ago
