Beam tests of a prototype level-1 calorimeter trigger for LHC experiments
Abstract
Beam tests of a first-prototype electromagnetic calorimeter trigger processor for LHC experiments are described. The synchronous, pipelined digital processor, built with ASIC's, was successfully operated at the full LHC bunch-crossing frequency of 40 MHz. Real data signals were obtained from a liquid argon electromagnetic calorimeter. The measured performance of the electron/photon trigger algorithm is compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
