The first real interaction of AGATA with other detectors is at the level of the GTS
Possibility to use the Digitizer multiplicity signal to build the ancillary detector trigger
The AGATA Trigger System
•Tree Structure Based on the GTS Mezzanines
•Trigger Logic Build in the Global Trigger Processor
•Possibility to Define Partitions for Different Detectors or Groups of Detectors
•The logic:•Multiplicity conditions within each partition•Prompt or Delay Logical Conditions Involving more partitions

1. Ordering the Trigger requests
2. Defining the events in the coincidence Window
3. Output of events in coincidence Window with event number

• Prompt and delayed• Case study:
– M(Ge) >= N and M(Ancillary) >= K before/after deltaT

Open Issues
– Multiple multiplicity conditions on the same partions:• (M(Ge) >= N or M(Ge) >= R) and M(Ancillary) >= K
before/after DT– Event number generation:
• Global ? • per partition ?
– Validation broadcast

This Trigger mode Is very relevant for NEDA: to be implemented in the final Global Trigger processor

Coupling Complementary Detectors Trough AGAVA
•AGAVA is a Complete Interface Towards the AGATA Global Trigger System•Provides the Trigger Request – Validation Cycle (with GTS Trigger Latency•Provides de Backpresure and Busy signals•Provides the Time-Stamp and Event-Number•But:
•GTS concept does not include “Multiplicity” information from a single node or any Other “Qualifying” Information.•No information Except the Topological (Partition) and Time is delivered to the Global Trigger System.•If Neutron Multiplicity to be considered in a complex trigger scheme a GTS mezzanine per channel is required•High costs for a system with individual GTS Mezzanines
Outlook:
•NEDA as well as the present n-wall have large -ray counting rates not compatible with a selective trigger•A full digital system requires processing capability to discriminate between -ray and neutrons and within a well defined time.•The Digitizer or processing modules need an neutron-trigger output to be use as input in AGAVA.•If processing capability on Digitizers, large FPGAs should be on-board. It is not very common in commercial FADC (example, CAEN Cyclone low performance FPGAs, Struck Virtex 4 FX-20).•If not a single GTS per channel, the neutron multiplicity has to be defined in the local electronics, no possibility to define dynamic trigger conditions (M=1 & Mn=2 .OR. M=2 & Mn=1)
