A study of a second level track trigger for ATLAS
Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A 336:1-2 (1993) 59-77
Abstract:
This paper discusses some of the problems of triggering at a high energy, high luminosity pp collider. A suggested second level track trigger for the ATLAS detector is described, based on hit information from a silicon tracker. Detailed Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to assess the performance of the trigger in accepting electrons and in rejecting the QCD jets that would fake electrons in the first level calorimeter trigger. Studies of the feasibility of implementing such a trigger are also presented. © 1993.THE DESIGN AND FUNCTION OF A RADIATION TOLERANT SILICON TRACKER FOR AN LHC EXPERIMENT

Abstract:
A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is compatible with acrylic and has a competitive light yield to pre-existing liquid scintillators while conferring other advantages including longer attenuation lengths, superior safety characteristics, chemical simplicity, ease of handling, and logistical availability. Its properties have been extensively characterized and are presented here. This liquid scintillator is now used in several neutrino physics experiments in addition to SNO+.Development, characterisation, and deployment of the SNO+ liquid scintillator
