ALICE trigger system: Present and Future
The purpose of any trigger system is to select an event sample strongly enriched in physics processes of interest, while rejecting those not of interest, and to do so in such a way as to make efficient use of the available detectors. The prime…
Read moreCMS Trigger: Lessons from LHC Run 2
The CMS experiment has a two-level trigger system [1], to reduce the number of events stored from the LHC bunch crossing rate of 40 MHz to around 1 kHz. The first level (the Level-1) uses custom electronics to reduce the rate of events to 100 kHz,…
