The LHC trigger and data acquisition systems will need significant modifications to operate at the HL-LHC. Due to the increased occupancy of each crossing, Level-1 trigger systems would experience degraded performance of the LHC algorithms presently selecting up to 100 kHz of crossings from the LHC input rate of 40 MHz. The DAQ systems will experience larger event sizes due to greater occupancy and higher channel counts of new detectors. This paper summarizes findings and recommendations to upgrade the LHC experiments trigger and data acquisition systems for operation at the HL-HLC.

This paper explores the physics reach of the proton-proton Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) and of the High-Energy LHC (HE-LHC) for searches of new particles produced in the $s$-channel and decaying to two high-energy leptons, jets (non-tops), tops or W/Z bosons. We discuss the expected discovery potential and exclusion limits for benchmark models predicting new massive particles that result in resonant structures in the invariant mass spectrum. We also present a detailed study of the HE-LHC potential to discriminate among different models, for a $Z$ that could be discovered by the end of High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC).
The DarkSide-50 experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso is a search for dark matter using a dual phase time projection chamber with 50 kg of low radioactivity argon as target. Light signals from interactions in the argon are detected by a system of 38 photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs), 19 above and 19 below the TPC volume inside the argon cryostat. We describe the electronics which processes the signals from the photo-multipliers, the trigger system which identifies events of interest, and the data-acquisition system which records the data for further analysis. The electronics include resistive voltage dividers on the PMTs, custom pre-amplifiers mounted directly on the PMT voltage dividers in the liquid argon, and custom amplifier/discriminators (at room temperature). After amplification, the PMT signals are digitized in CAEN waveform digitizers, and CAEN logic modules are used to construct the trigger, the data acquisition system for the TPC is based on the Fermilab artdaq software. The system has been in operation since early 2014.
The WaveDAQ is a newly-designed digitization Trigger and Data AcQuisition system (TDAQ) allowing Multi-gigasample waveform recording on a large amount of channels (up to 16384) by using the DRS4 analog switched capacitor array as downconverting ASIC. A high bandwidth, programmable input stage has been coupled with a bias generator to allow SiPM operation without need of any other external apparatus. The trigger generation is tightly coupled within the system to limit the required depth of the analog memory, allowing faster digitization speeds. This system has been designed for the MEG experiment upgrade but also proved to be highly scalable and already found other applications.
The JSNS$^{2}$ (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) experiment aims to search for neutrino oscillations over a 24 m short baseline at J-PARC. The JSNS$^{2}$ inner detector is filled with 17 tons of gadolinium(Gd)-loaded liquid scintillator (LS) with an additional 31 tons of unloaded LS in the intermediate $gamma$-catcher and an optically separated outer veto volumes. A total of 120 10-inch photomultiplier tubes observe the scintillating optical photons and each analog waveform is stored with the flash analog-to-digital converters. We present details of the data acquisition, processing, and data quality monitoring system. We also present two different trigger logics which are developed for the beam and self-trigger.
DarkSide-50 is a detector for dark matter candidates in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). It utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) for the inner main detector. The TPC is surrounded by a liquid scintillator veto (LSV) and a water Cherenkov veto detector (WCV). The LSV and WCV, both instrumented with PMTs, act as the neutron and cosmogenic muon veto detectors for DarkSide-50. This paper describes the electronics and data acquisition system used for these two detectors.
