22. Reconstruction Algorithms Requirements: Send reconstructed information to the 2nd level trigger Work in real-time at 1st level trigger rate LHC rate: 100 kHz First years rate: ~50 kHz Commissioning rate (during July-August 2006): ~1Hz Proposed algorithms: Optimal Filtering: Reconstruction of the energy and arrival time of the particles Transverse Energy: Calculation of the transverse energy deposited on each module Muon Tag: Identification of low transverse momentum muons

23. Optimal Filtering (I) OF: amplitude, phase and Quality Factor. Digital Samples ATLAS Physics run : 7 samples Pedestal: Baseline of the signal. Weights obtained from the pulse shape and noise autocorrelation matrix.

24. Optimal Filtering (II) Input data: 16 DMU blocks with 3 channels each. Individual channel gain transmitted in the DMU block header. 7 samples per channel. Pedestal assignment. Weights downloaded from a database by the TDAQ software at configuration time. Energy  Time  QF Roundup, scaling and packing adaptation for the output data format.

25. Muon tagging Input data: Energy from OF algorithm. Upper and lower thresholds: Low threshold cuts the electronic noise Upper threshold eliminates hadronic showers and tails Output: number of muons found and Pseudorapidities of these muons

26. Missing Et algorithm Input data: energy from OF algorithm DSP fast computation of: Total transverse energy per module X and Y projections Output packed in event sub- fragment toguether with Muon tagging algorithm output.

27. Conclusions An Optimal Filter has been implemented in the TileCal Read Out Driver for online data reconstruction Two trigger oriented algorithms have also been implemented: Muon tagging Transverse energy calculation These algorithms have been tested successfully during TileCal commissioning phase last summer. Working now on improving timing and performance
