Implementation of the shower max electron trigger at CDF

Abstract

The authors have built and installed new electronics which brings the central shower max detector into the CDF Level-2 trigger. By matching a stiff track from the central fast track processor to an associated shower max cluster, this trigger improvement reduces the electron Level-2 cross section by approximately 50% while retaining greater than 85% of real electrons and allows the authors to lower their electron trigger threshold
