GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA CD3-Critical Design Review, May 12, 2003 S. Ritz Document: LAT-PR Section 03 Science Requirements and Instrument Design Concepts 1 Implemented Maximum Background Fluxes total Integrates to ~10 kHz/m 2 LAT-TD Mizuno et al Note by Allan Tylka 12 May 2000, and presentations by Eric Grove AMS Alcaraz et al, Phys Lett B484(2000)p10 and Phys Lett B472(2000)p215 Comparison with EGRET A-Dome rates provides a conservative ceiling on the total rate. orbit-max fluxes used for trigger rate calculations

GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA CD3-Critical Design Review, May 12, 2003 S. Ritz Document: LAT-PR Section 03 Science Requirements and Instrument Design Concepts 2 Implemented Average Background Fluxes Integrates to ~4.2 kHz/m 2 orbit-avg fluxes used for downlink and final background rejection calculations

GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA CD3-Critical Design Review, May 12, 2003 S. Ritz Document: LAT-PR Section 03 Science Requirements and Instrument Design Concepts 3 EGRET A-dome Rates (from D. Bertsch, EGRET team) A-dome has an area of ~6 m 2, so orbit max rate (outside SAA and no solar flares) corresponds to ~16 kHz/m 2 This represents a conservative upper-limit for us, since the A-dome was sensitive down to 10’s of keV. Note peak rate is at (24.7,260) SAA

GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA CD3-Critical Design Review, May 12, 2003 S. Ritz Document: LAT-PR Section 03 Science Requirements and Instrument Design Concepts 4 Instrument Triggering and Onboard Data Flow Hardware trigger based on special signals from each tower; initiates readout Function: “did anything happen?” keep as simple as possible TKR 3 x y pair planes in a row workhorse  trigger x x x Instrument Total L1T Rate: ** subset of full background rejection analysis, with loose cuts only use quantities that  are simple and robust  do not require application of sensor calibration constants full instrument information available to processors. Function: reduce data to fit within downlink Hierarchical filter process: first make the simple selections that require little CPU and data unpacking. Total L3T Rate: complete event information signal/bkgd tunable, depending on analysis cuts:  cosmic-rays  ~ 1:~few Spacecraft OR (average event size: ~8-10* kbits) **4 kHz average without throttle (1.3 kHz with throttle); peak L1T rate is approximately 12 kHz without throttle and 3.8 kHz with throttle). Upon a L1T, all towers are read out within 20  s Level 1 Trigger CAL: LO – independent check on TKR trigger. HI – indicates high energy event disengage use of ACD. On-board Processing On-board science analysis: transient detection (AGN flares, bursts) *assumes no compression

GLAST LAT ProjectDOE/NASA CD3-Critical Design Review, May 12, 2003 S. Ritz Document: LAT-PR Section 03 Science Requirements and Instrument Design Concepts 5 Testing Trigger Efficiencies On Orbit Two kinds of inefficiencies Test this on the ground in LAT using cosmic-ray induced muons LOCAL at least 2 methods to measure: spatial distributions of L1T’s compare TKR hits with TKR trigger pattern using both TKR triggers CAL-LO triggers (independent sample!) GLOBAL example: global trigger drops every 10 th trigger. How would we know? Two types of global inefficiencies: Time-dependent monitor pulsar fluxes over time Constant At least 3 methods to measure: count prescales periodic triggers (both hard and soft) use a sensor with a counter independent of trigger system (e.g., ACD tile) to generate heavily prescaled triggers.
