Abstract

The sPHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is designed to investigate the physics of the strongly coupled Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP). Heavy-flavor hadrons serve as key probes of the QGP produced during heavy-ion collisions. However, the current readout event rate of the sPHENIX detector is limited to 15 kHz, due to constraints in the readout system of the outer calorimeter detectors. To improve the trigger efficiency of heavy-flavor events, a dedicated online trigger system is imperative. This paper presents the design of machine learning-based online trigger algorithms aimed at selecting heavy-flavor quark events in the sPHENIX experiment. The algorithms, primarily based on Multi-Layer Perceptrons, Graph Neural Networks, and Bipartite Graph Neural Networks, use only spatial track hit information from fast silicon detectors as input. The performance of these algorithms are evaluated using simulation datasets, with charm-quark event samples generated via Monte Carlo for p+p collisions at s = 200 GeV. The results demonstrate that the system achieves a track reconstruction efficiency of 0.945. Additionally, the precision and recall values for identifying heavy-flavor events are both around 0.79.

期刊介绍: Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
