E. Petrolo et S. Veneziano, USE OF GAAS CIRCUITS FOR 1ST LEVEL MUON TRIGGERING AT LHC, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 344(1), 1994, pp. 194-198
The design of a first level muon trigger prototype having the performa
nce required for LHC is presented. It is able to generate multithresho
ld triggers with a small latency and it has the capability of resolvin
g the bunch crossing, when coupled with the Resistive Plate Counters (
RPCs).
