Endcap TF

Overlap TFBarrel TF

- Overlap TF is now separated from Endcap and Barrel

CMS Endcap Muon Trigger

Each of two Endcaps is split into 6 sectors, 60° each

Each sector is served by one Sector Processor (SP)

Total 12 SPs in the entire system

CMS trigger requires us to identify distinct muons

Each SP can build up to 3 muon tracks per BX

Trigger sector 60˚

UpgradedSector Processor Complete 3-D tracks

assembled from primitives Up to 3 tracks per BX


Motivations for upgrade Current Endcap Trigger is adequate for LHC luminosity before the upgrade The following improvements are needed for the upgrade:

Transverse Momentum (Pt) assignment Final Pt assignment is currently done with 2MB LUT Address space is already over-saturated Need bigger Pt assignment memory

Trigger primitives bandwidth With luminosity upgrade, we expect ~7 Trigger primitives per Sector

per BX (average). Current system selects only 3 best primitives in each sector

Inadequate for the upgrade

Need to import preferably all primitives on each BX 18 per sector

Also need to import other data (Resistive Plate Chambers) The above means:

Higher input bandwidth Bigger FPGA

Transmitters:

3 12-channel TX Avago’s AFBR-810BEZ 28 TX channels (12+12+4)

All of them 10 Gbps parts Not enough space on front panel to accommodate all TX parts located inside

connect with short fibers to MPO fiber couplers on front panel Tight but enough space to fit couplers on top of AFBR-820 parts.

Receivers are on front panel to minimize count of fiber-to-fiber transitions for inputs
