Trigger system of ALICE
ALICE触发系统要解决的问题是如何充分利用各个子探测器在不同的碰撞模式下有效的进行触发判选。ALICE子探测器数据读出时间的不同要求ALICE触发系统有三个并行级别的触发，这样的设计使得ALCIE触发系统可以从较快的探测器中读出数据。ALICE触发系统的这三个级别的触发选判信号：零级触发（Level 0，简称L0），一级触发（Level 1，简称L1）和二级触发（Level 2，简称L2）: L0：固定延时，碰撞发生后1.2 μs产生，用来选通ALICE一些子探测器的前端电子学（FEE）部分。 L1：固定延时，碰撞发生后6.5 μs产生，选通L0触发之后余下的所有探测器，也被数据获取系统（DAQ）做为允许数据从探测器的前端电子学开始读出的触发信号。 L2：最终一级的触发信号，碰撞发生后88 μs后产生，主要目的是保证TPC探测器中不发生堆叠效应，同时参与测量的探测器的数据开始从各自的前端电子学部分读出并送到DAQ和HLT（High Level Trigger）系统。 高能物理学会第七届学术年会, 2006/10/ /11/1, 桂林
16
Trigger signals: L0, L1, L2 L0信号的产生主要基于T0和V0计数器，同时也依赖PHOS、EMCAL、前向TRD和μ子触发的输入。 L1是否触发是通过以下探测器的信息来判选的：（1）来自μ子探测器系统的信息；（2）来自中央探测器，如PHOS、FMD和ZDC的信息。 L2信号的产生基于TPC探测器的漂移时间。L2有可变的等待时间，其上限是TPC的漂移时间。 在ALICE触发系统中，有24个L0输入，20个L1输入和6个L2输入。 作为ALICE子探测器的PHOS（ Photon Spectrometer ）产生L0和L1触发信号，参与ALICE触发系统的工作。 高能物理学会第七届学术年会, 2006/10/ /11/1, 桂林

Summary ○ LHC/ALICE is a powerful next generation detector
first truly general purpose HI experiment addresses most relevant observables: from super-soft to ultra-hard many evolutionary developments： SSD, SDD, TPC, em cal, … some big advances in technology：electronics, pixels, TOF, computing ○ ALICE/PHOS performs well in trigger decision with good performance of energy reconstruction in a broad transverse momentum range from 0.5 GeV/c to 100 GeV/c trigger efficiency: 1) showed a first order exponential decay versus pT, 2) showed a loss about 4% due to the TRU boundaries trigger rate: 1) for direct photons was much higher than it for π0 and η-mesons, 2) PHOS could provide L0 trigger by its FEE card to low pT photon events and ALICE/CTP provide L0 trigger to high pT photon events, 3) PHOS could provide L1 trigger by its FEE card. 高能物理学会第七届学术年会, 2006/10/ /11/1, 桂林
