Trigger systems in ATLAS/CMS ATLAS CMS 40 MHz bunch crossing 40 Level-1: 
 custom hardware Software HLT: 
 20k cores 1 kHz to storage H. Brun, LP 2015 2

Limitations to recording all data Limited by: 
 fast read-out of o(100M) detector channels computing resources (reconstruction) disk storage (saving for further processing) 
 everyone else’s favourite physics channel Bandwidth = Event rate x Event size LHC: 40 MHz 
 (Reconstructed) ATLAS: 1 kHz 
 ATLAS: o(MB) LHCb: 12.5 kHz LHCb: ~100 kB CMS: 1 kHz CMS: o(MB) Probing for low-rate processes is important: LHC luminosity will increase but energy will not. Readout bandwidth is an important limitation of searches when irreducible backgrounds are large. 3

Trigger-Level Analysis technique Record only necessary information for jet search: jets Use information already available to make the decision: HLT jets Reduced size → increase unprescaled trigger rate Event size reduced to 5% of fully recorded event unprescaled prescaled 8

Statistics increase from Trigger-Level Analysis technique: dijet invariant mass Statistics increase Performance comparison: 
 trigger/offline response = unity this requires custom offline calibrations for trigger jets 10

ATLAS MET+X and Dijet Searches Benchmark model points: LHC DM WG, arXiv:1703.05703 12

Outlook TLA technique powerful when: - use a subset of the detector information for the search - object already reconstructed in the trigger and close enough to offline Other detectors that could help TLAs: - pile-up subtraction - rely on information computed in trigger and only write out summary information (real- time analysis) g q 0.35 TLA for SMARTHEP PhD project purposes: 0.3 - combine background reduction and TLA:

Data-driven background fit (UA2 fcn) Trigger Level Analysis: search ATLAS-CONF-2016-030 Jet p T > 185, 85 GeV |y*| = |y 1 -y 2 |/2 < 0.6 (rejects forward-peaking t-channel QCD processes) m jj > 460 GeV |y*| = |y 1 -y 2 |/2 < 0.3 (reaches lower in mass due to forcing more central, higher pT jets) m jj > 396 GeV Most discrepant region (p-value 0.44) Only probing below M ~ 1.2 TeV (high-mass analysis takes over) 15

Jet performance for TLA Performance of trigger jets comparable to that of offline jets Improvements benefit jet trigger as a whole 16
