Motivations


The goal is to maintain the rates of single and multi-object Level-1
calorimeter triggers at acceptable levels, for thresholds comparable
to those used in Run 1, despite the increased center-of-mass energy,
instantaneous luminosity up to L = 3x1034 cm-2 s-1and pile-up up to
<m> = 80.
Improve the performance of the Level-1 single object triggers based
on the calorimeter information by:



Reducing jet backgrounds in the Level-1 EM trigger by deploying shower
shape algorithms and high-precision isolation criteria for electron and
photon identification.
Deploy algorithms currently used in the High-Level Trigger to improve t
identification at Level-1 (energy in the core of the cluster, isolation,...)
Improve the Level-1 jet and MET resolutions and efficiencies to effectively
reduce the rates for the same physics acceptance in the offline analyses.
Sharpening turn-on curves using



more advanced reconstruction algorithms at Level-1
utilizing pileup subtraction techniques on an event-by-event basis as currently
implemented in the offline analyses

Expected performances

These performance improvements introduced are possible thanks to the following
upgrades:

Higher granularity in eta: The calorimeter segmentation available in the Level-1 trigger is
made finer using Super Cells: groups of calorimeter cells are summed together in the frontend electronics to form areas as narrow as DhxDf=0.025x0.1 in the front and middle
layers of the EM calorimeters.
Layer information: The longitudinal shower information - Super Cells in the electromagnetic
calorimeter only contain one layer each - will also become available for the Level-1
trigger decision.
Finer quantization scale: The digitization precision of the Super Cell signals is improved by
at least a factor of 4: the quantization scale and the dynamic range of the digitizers are
optimized in each –region and for each longitudinal segmentation of the calorimeters to
achieve sensitivities at the level of Super Cell electronic noise or better. This improved
precision is relative to a 1 GeV least significant bit of the existing Level-1 system (32 MeV
strips, 125 MeV middle)
Improved energy reconstruction: The energy deposited in the calorimeter Super Cells is
calculated at each bunch crossing through optimized algorithms: techniques similar to the
optimal filtering currently implemented in the LAr Readout Drivers provide results close to
the energy resolution obtained from the offline reconstruction.

Baseplanes



A new baseplane is required
for the Phase-I upgrades to
handle the larger number of
signals at the input of the
Tower Builder.
The channel density in the new
baseplanes is feasible but will
require attention at the design
level to preserve signal
integrity and keep low noise
levels.
Design now well advanced:

DC powering

During Phase-I operation, the LTDBs will need to draw their power from the
existing LVPS (recently replaced). The current power consumption amounts
to less than 75% of the nominal power these supplies can deliver (3.2 kW),
so sufficient power reserve for LTDB operation is available.



Since the new LTDB will have to operate after the Phase-II upgrade, the
design of the power scheme will have to take into account this forward
compatibility.



Modular design is being considered so that the power module could be
replaced during the Phase-II upgrade to accommodate the voltage rails from a
new low voltage power supply for the FECs.

DC powering: choice of components

POL converters from CERN, and commercial devices as the
one already identified in the APOLLO project (Linear
Technology, Texas Instruments,…) will be investigated.

CERN is developing POLs for the tracker upgrade. It needs to be
tested if these devices would fit also the LAr requirements
they would need to be reengineered as the package is too big for
the LTDB.
 Not enough power: need to put more than one
 Rad-had version is not available yet.



Candidates for the LDO regulators are devices produced by
ST

The Linear Technology (LTM4619 family) devices have been
tested for radiation by some of our colleagues from US; the TI
one (TPS50601-SP) is said to be rad-hard by the company. In
both case further investigations will be needed.
ST4913, ST7913: already used in the past
being evaluated by CERN for radiation-hardness.


Vorremmo chiedere lo sblocco dei 5 keuro sj di R&D:
per produrre un prototipo del baseplane EC-SP di cui
stiamo ultimando il design.
 stiamo lavorando dall’inizio dell’anno a questo design e
anche se non potremo produrre in futuro tutti i baseplane di
questo tipo crediamo che sia importante non sprecare
l’investimento fatto.
 la nostra intenzione e’ di produrre uno o due campioni del
baseplane, assemblarne uno, testarlo e documentare in un
report finale i risultati del test, fornendo anche il
“fabrication file” (in formato Gerber RS-274X).
 in questa maniera, la collaborazione usera’ il nostro layout.
 inoltre validiamo un ulteriore produttore col quale
confrontare i risultati dei test che saranno fatti sui prototipi
del baseplane barrel che i colleghi francesi produrranno a
breve.

Test del baseplane: abbiamo gia’ la strumentazione in casa per
effettuare le misure ma abbiamo bisogno di un adattatore per il
cable tester e di costruire una scheda dummy per testare i vari
slot del baseplane.
Produzione e relative assemblaggio di un prototipo della
mezzanine di distribuzione potenza della LTDB.
Acquisto DC-DC converters in package BGA e altri component
della scheda
Preparazione di un test set-up con dummy LTDB per effettuare
misure sulla mezzanine
Adattatore per il Power Analyzer AGILENT per effettuare misure
di assorbimento corrente sulla scheda
Effettueremo test di noise, EMI (al CERN), in campo magnetico al
LASA e se possibile anche test di radiazioni.
