> > | ATLAS has designed a three-level trigger system to perform this challenging task. It was designed, built and commissioning by a community of over 500 people from universities and labs all over the world, including RHUL. The first level is realised in custom-built electronics (FPGA and ASIC in case you're an interested electronics expert). The higher level trigger (HLT) is implemented as software running on a network of around 2300 computers. We've been developing several parts of this software, including the framework and some of the algorithms. | |||||||

RHUL staff and students regularly play their part in operating the trigger, with expert roles and shifts in the Atlas Control Room. | ||||||||

< < | The trigger software project has about ... lines of code, ... developers and we build ... releases per year. Trigger algorithms are produced though collaboration between trigger experts, reconstruction developers and physics analysis groups to give the optimum balance between technical performance (memory, cpu and network usage), the best rejection and least biased selection. This performance has to be validated before use and monitored once it is on-line. Students and staff from RHUL have been involved in all parts of this process, including recent work in electron/photon triggers. | |||||||

> > | The trigger software project has about a million lines of C++/Python code, ~50 active developers and we build about 20 releases per year. In a typical week we have ~100 open bugs and 50 opened/closed. RHUL staff coordinate this work and develop many of the tools and procedures for managing and validating all this the software. | |||||||
