Future HLT Upgrade OptionsSlide44
Requirements for LHC phases of the upgrades: ~2010-2020
Phase 1:
Goal of extended running in second half of the decade to collect ~100s/fb
80% of this luminosity in the last three years of this decade
About half the luminosity would be delivered at luminosities above the original LHC design luminosity
Trigger & DAQ systems should be able to operate with a peak luminosity of up to 2
x 1034Phase 2:Continued operation of the LHC beyond a few 100/fb will require substantial modification of detector elementsThe goal is to achieve 3000/fb in phase 2Need to be able to integrate ~300/fb-yrWill require new tracking detectors for ATLAS & CMSTrigger & DAQ systems should be able to operate with a peak luminosity of up to 5 x 1034Slide45

The Track Trigger Problem
Need to gather
information from 10
8
pixels in 200m
2
of silicon at 40 MHzPower & bandwidth to send all data off-detector is prohibitiveLocal filtering necessarySmart pixels needed to locally correlate hit Pt informationStudying the use of 3D electronics to provide ability to locally correlate hits between two closely spaced layersSlide55
3D Interconnection
Key
to
design
is
ability
of a single IC to connect to both top & bottom sensorEnabled by “vertical interconnected” (3D) technologyA single chip on bottom tier can connect to both top and bottom sensors – locally correlate informationAnalog information from top sensor is passed to ROIC (readoutIC) through interposerOne layer of chipsNo “horizontal” data transfer necessary – lower noise and powerFine Z information is not necessary on top sensor – long (~1 cm vs ~1-2 mm) strips can be used to minimize via density in interposerSlide56
Track Trigger Architecture

T
assignment precision from 15% standalone muon measurement to 1.5% with the trackerImproves sign determination & provides vertex constraintsFind pixel tracks within cone around muon track and compute sum PT as an isolation criterionLess sensitive to pile-up than calorimetric information if primary vertex of hard-scattering can be determined (~100 vertices total at SLHC!)To do this requires information on muons finer than the current 0.052.5°No problem, since both are already available at 0.0125 and 0.015°Slide60

CMS Level-1 Latency
Present CMS Latency of 3.2
μsec = 128 crossings @ 40MHz
Limitation from post-L1 buffer size of tracker & preshower
Assume rebuild of tracking & preshower electronics will store more than this number of samples
Do we need more?
Not all crossings used for trigger processing (70/128)It’s the cables!Parts of trigger already using higher frequencyHow much more? Justification?Combination with tracking logicIncreased algorithm complexityAsynchronous links or FPGA-integrated deserialization require more latencyFiner result granularity may require more processing timeECAL digital pipeline memory is 256 40 MHz samples = 6.4 μsec Propose this as CMS SLHC Level-1 Latency baselineSlide62
