Abstract
One of the major challenges for the radio detection of extensive air showers,
as encountered by the Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND), is the
requirement of an autonomous radio self-trigger. This work presents the current
development of self-triggering techniques at the detection-unit level -- the
so-called first-level trigger (FLT) -- in the context of the NUTRIG project. A
second-level trigger (SLT) at the array level is described in a separate
contribution. Two FLT methods are described, based on a template-fitting
algorithm and a convolutional neural network (CNN). In this work, we compare
the preliminary offline performance of both FLT methods in terms of signal
selection efficiency and background rejection efficiency. We find that for both
methods, ${\gtrsim}40\%$ of the background can be rejected if a signal
selection efficiency of 90\% is required at the $5\sigma$ level.
