CMS SLHC Trigger and DAQ

Abstract

R&D is needed for LHC trigger and data acquisition systems if the LHC luminosity is increased to 10 cm" s" . This upgrade, entitled the Super LHC (SLHC), would occur in the next decade. The physics triggers, the algorithms needed to provide these triggers against the substantially increased backgrounds and pile-up, and the types of electronics solutions that can support these more sophisticated algorithms are discussed. New architectures of Data Acquisition systems exploiting advances in network technology are also presented.
