An on-line trigger processor for large transverse energy events

A trigger processor for the selection of events in which photons of large transverse momentum are detected by a lead and scintillating glass calorimeter was designed, constructed, and operated at interaction rates ranging from 2 kHz to 2 MHz. The system achieved suppressions of the raw interaction r...

Description
Summary:A trigger processor for the selection of events in which photons of large transverse momentum are detected by a lead and scintillating glass calorimeter was designed, constructed, and operated at interaction rates ranging from 2 kHz to 2 MHz. The system achieved suppressions of the raw interaction rate of as much as 1*10/sup -5/. Raw distributions of transverse momenta and direct photon event sensitivities are presented for data taken with 300-GeV/c pion and proton beams on a lithium target.< >
