H8 Beam Test in 2003─ Preparation status

TGC-Japan electronics group

CF 16/Feb/2003 2

To do list for beam test at H8

Validate the design of Muon Endcap Trigger Electronics

With electronics and software, which have been used in the present slice test (s) of end-to-end full chain + LV + HV + DCS + othersWith TGC 7 layers using 3 T8 units

Take data from TGCs together with ones from MDTsIntegrate the system with MuCTPI and CTP

Slice test results and statusLevel 1 Trigger electronics

Comparison of trigger I/O patterns with Simulation 1-track hit 10000 patterns checked 2-tracks hits 10000 patterns checked ≥ 2 tracks hits check undergoing

Latency (from pp collision to MuCTPI input) measured and estimated as 1205ns (TDR 1250ns)

Read-out chain with SSW and Test-RODFPGA version SSW ready, firmware not yet coded

SSW must be installed in Slice test setup till 1st week of March

Test ROD functionality confirmed, performance measured with PT4 module (general purpose G-link test VME module)
