An FPGA-based online trigger system has been developed for the COMET Phase-I experiment. This experiment searches for muon-to-electron conversion, which has never been observed yet. A drift chamber and trigger counters detect a mono-energetic electron from the conversion process in a 1-T solenoidal magnetic field. A highly intense muon source is applied to reach unprecedented experimental sensitivity. It also generates undesirable background particles, and a trigger rate due to these particles is expected to be much higher than an acceptable trigger rate in the data acquisition system. By using hit information from the drift chamber too, the online trigger system efficiently suppresses a background trigger rate while keeping signal-event acceptance large. A characteristic of this system is the utilization of the machine learning technique in the form of look-up tables on hardware. An initial simulation study indicates that the signal-event acceptance of the online trigger is 96% while the background trigger rate is reduced from over $90,mathrm{kHz}$ to $13,mathrm{kHz}$. For this scenario, we have produced trigger-related electronics that construct a distributed trigger architecture. The total latency of the trigger system was estimated to be $3.2,mathrm{mu s}$, and the first operation test was carried out by using a part of the drift-chamber readout region.

LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils resulting from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the detector are processed with an FPGA-based digital trigger system that analyzes t he incoming data in real-time, with just a few microsecond latency. The system enables first pass selection of events of interest based on their pulse shape characteristics and 3D localization of the interactions. It has been shown to be >99% efficient in triggering on S2 signals induced by only few extracted liquid electrons. It is continuously and reliably operating since its full underground deployment in early 2013. This document is an overview of the systems capabilities, its inner workings, and its performance.
The ALICE High Level Trigger has to process data online, in order to select interesting (sub)events, or to compress data efficiently by modeling techniques.Focusing on the main data source, the Time Projection Chamber (TPC), we present two pattern re cognition methods under investigation: a sequential approach cluster finder and track follower) and an iterative approach (track candidate finder and cluster deconvoluter). We show, that the former is suited for pp and low multiplicity PbPb collisions, whereas the latter might be applicable for high multiplicity PbPb collisions, if it turns out, that more than 8000 charged particles would have to be reconstructed inside the TPC. Based on the developed tracking schemes we show, that using modeling techniques a compression factor of around 10 might be achievable
A fully digital beam position and phase measurement (BPPM) system was designed for the linear accelerator (LINAC) in Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System (ADS) in China. Phase information is obtained from the summed signals from four pick-ups of th e Beam Position Monitor (BPM). Considering that the delay variations of different analog circuit channels would introduce phase measurement errors, we propose a new method to tune the digital waveforms of four channels before summation and achieve real-time error correction. The process is based on the vector rotation method and implemented within one single Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. Tests were conducted to evaluate this correction method and the results indicate that a phase correction precision better than +/- 0.3 degree over the dynamic range from -60 dBm to 0 dBm is achieved.
The Technical Design for the COMET Phase-I experiment is presented in this paper. COMET is an experiment at J-PARC, Japan, which will search for neutrinoless conversion of muons into electrons in the field of an aluminium nucleus ($mu-e$ conversion, $mu^- N to e^- N$); a lepton flavor violating process. The experimental sensitivity goal for this process in the Phase-I experiment is $3.1times10^{-15}$, or 90 % upper limit of branching ratio of $7times 10^{-15}$, which is a factor of 100 improvement over the existing limit. The expected number of background events is 0.032. To achieve the target sensitivity and background level, the 3.2 kW 8 GeV proton beam from J-PARC will be used. Two types of detectors, CyDet and StrECAL, will be used for detecting the mue conversion events, and for measuring the beam-related background events in view of the Phase-II experiment, respectively. Results from simulation on signal and background estimations are also described.
