Algorithm and implementation of muon trigger and data transmission system for barrel-endcap overlap region of the CMS detector

摘要

The CMS experiment is currently undergoing upgrade of its trigger, including the Level-1 muon trigger. In the barrel-endcap transition region it is necessary to merge data from 3 types of detectors - RPC, DT and CSC. The Overlap Muon Track Finder (OMTF) uses the novelty approach to concentrate and process those data in an uniform manner. The paper presents the algorithm and FPGA firmware implementation of the OMTF and its data transmission system in CMS. The OMTF is subject to significant changes during optimizations based on physical simulations. Therefore a special, high level, parametrized HDL implementation is necessary.
