Test Beam results and integration of the ATLAS Level-1 Muon Barrel Trigger

The ATLAS level-1 muon trigger will be crucial for the online selection of events with high transverse momentum muons and for its correct association to the bunch-crossing corresponding to the detected events. This system uses dedicated coarse granularity and fast detectors capable of providing measurements in two orthogonal projections. The resistive plate chambers (RPCs) are used in the barrel region (|η| < 1). The associated trigger electronics is based on a custom chip, the coincidence matrix, that performs space coincidences within programmable roads and time gates. The system is highly redundant and communicates with the ATLAS level-1 trigger processor with the MUCTPI interface. The trigger electronics provides also the readout of the RPCs. Preliminary results achieved with a full trigger tower with production detectors in the H8 test beam at CERN will be shown, in particular preliminary results on the integration of the barrel muon trigger electronics with the MUCTPI interface and with the ATLAS DAQ system will be discussed.
