Research and development of a calorimeter trigger system for a proton-protoncollider experiment

Project objective

The proposed work will be integrated in the project 'R&D of the Calorimeter Trigger System of the CMS experiment'. The CMS experiment, under development, will be carried out at the LHC collider at CERN. The calorimeter trigger is a high-performance electronics and computing system which processes on-line the detector data to select electrons, photons, taus and high missing energy events, as well as samples of jet events. Several hundred electronics boards and a large amount of complex software are needed in the system. The Calorimeter Trigger project is carried out by a collaboration of six institutes in Europe and the USA. The project coordinator is J. Varela (who is also the scientist in charge of this proposal). The research work to be developed in the framework of the LIP group includes the simulation of p-p reactions, the study of trigger algorithms, software developments and tests of trigger prototypes. This work is expected to provide training in high-energy proton-proton physics, as well as on advanced trigger systems for particle physics experiments.
