A Receiver System for the TileCal Muon Signals

Abstract

During the detector commissioning period, the TileCal muon signals have been used to trigger cosmic rays, as this signal, currently, is not being used by ATLAS level 1 muon trigger. Studies showed that the signal-to-noise ratio at the level 1 muon trigger is increased if both muon signals seeing the same D cell are summed. Thus, a system has been developed to receive TileCal muon signals and to aid ATLAS level 1 muon trigger. This article describes the receiver system and its main features, as well as circuit simulations
