Abstract
Beam tests of a first-prototype electromagnetic calorimeter trigger pr ocessor for LHC experiments are described. The synchronous, pipelined, digital processor built with ASICs, was successfully operated at the full LHC bunch-crossing frequency of 40 MHz. Real data signals were ob tained from a liquid argon electromagnetic calorimeter. The measured p erformance of the electron/photon trigger algorithm
