The ATLAS inner detector trigger performance in pp collisions at 13TeV during LHC Run 2

Abstract

The authors thank CERN for the very successful operation of the LHC, as well as the support staff from the institutions without whom ATLAS could not be operated efficiently.

The crucial computing support from all WLCG partners is acknowledged gratefully, in particular from CERN, the ATLAS Tier-1 facilities at TRIUMF (Canada), NDGF (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), CCIN2P3 (France), KIT/GridKA (Germany), INFN-CNAF (Italy), NLT1 (Netherlands), PIC (Spain), ASGC (Taiwan), RAL (UK) and BNL (USA), the Tier-2 facilities worldwide and large non-WLCG resource providers. Major contributors of computing resources are listed elsewhere [67]. ; The design and performance of the inner detector trigger for the high level trigger of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during the 2016–2018 data taking period is discussed. In 2016, 2017, and 2018 the ATLAS detector recorded 35.6 fb−1, 46.9 fb−1, and 60.6 fb−1 respectively of proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV. In order to deal with the very high interaction multiplicities per bunch crossing expected with the 13TeV collisions the inner detector trigger was redesigned during the long shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider from 2013 until 2015. An overview of these developments is provided and the performance of the tracking in the trigger for the muon, electron, tau and b-jet signatures is discussed. The high performance of the inner detector trigger with these extreme interactionmultiplicities demonstrates howthe inner detector tracking continues to lie at the heart of the trigger performance and is essential in enabling the ATLAS physics programme. ; ANPCyT ; YerPhI, Armenia ; Australian Research Council ; BMWFW, Austria Austrian Science Fund (FWF) ; Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) ; SSTC, Belarus ; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPQ) ; Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) ; Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) NRC, Canada Canada Foundation for Innovation ; CERN ; ANID, Chile ; Chinese Academy of Sciences Ministry of Science and Technology, China National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) ; Minciencias, Colombia ; Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports - Czech Republic Czech Republic Government Czech Republic Government ; DNRF, Denmark Danish Natural Science Research Council ; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) CEA-DRF/IRFU, France ; SRNSFG, Georgia ; Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF) ; HGF, Germany Max Planck Society ; GSRI, Greece ; RGC, China Hong Kong SAR, China ; Israel Science Foundation Benoziyo Center, Israel ; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) ; Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science ; CNRST, Morocco ; Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government ; RCN, Norway ; MEiN, Poland ; Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology European Commission ; MNE/IFA, Romania ; JINR ; Russian Federation ; Ministry of Education, Science & Technological Development, Serbia ; MSSR, Slovakia ; Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia MIZS, Slovenia ; DSI/NRF, South Africa ; Spanish Government ; SRC, Sweden Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden ; SERI, Switzerland Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Canton of Bern, Switzerland Canton of Geneva, Switzerland ; Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan ; Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources - Turkey ; UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) ; Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ; United States Department of Energy (DOE) ; National Science Foundation (NSF) ; BCKDF, Canada CANARIE, Canada Compute Canada, Canada CRC, Canada ; COST, European Union European Research Council (ERC) ERDF, European Union Horizon 2020, European Union Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, European Union ; French National Research Agency (ANR) ; German Research Foundation (DFG) ; Alexander von Humboldt Foundation ; Herakleitos programme - EU-ESF Thales Group Aristeia programme - EU-ESF Greek NSRF, Greece ; BSF-NSF, Israel German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development ; Norwegian FinancialMechanism 2014-2021, Norway ; NCN, Poland Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) ; La Caixa Banking Foundation, Spain CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain PROMETEO Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain GenT Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain ; Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden ; Royal Society of London ; Leverhulme Trust
