The ATLAS Trigger requires high efficiency and selectivity in order to keep the full physics potential of the experiment and to reject uninteresting processes from the 40 MHz event production rate of the LHC.

Abstract

The ATLAS Trigger requires high efficiency and selectivity in order to keep the full physics potential of the experiment and to reject uninteresting processes from the 40 MHz event production rate of the LHC. These goals are achieved with a trigger composed of three sequential levels of increasing accuracy that have to reduce the output event rate down to 100 Hz . This work focuses on muon reconstruction and identification for the third level (Event Filter), for which specific algorithms from the off-line environment have been adapted to work in the trigger framework. Two different strategies for accessing data (wrapped and seeded modes) are described and their reconstruction potential is then shown in terms of efficiencies, resolutions and fake muon rejection power.
