• Summary of Activities and Milestones for 1999
24/03/99 Report to LHCC Referees
Motivation: Iron blocks from WANF will be used to build the muon filter Dimensions: • Muon shield 1 has 30 cm thickness in TP• Muon shields 2-5 have 70cm thickness in TP• Iron from WANF has 40cm and 80 cm thickness
Consequences:-› The proposed new configuration has the same number of nuclear interaction length: 23 -› The particle fluxes in M2 will be slightly higher-› There will be less multiple scattering between M1 and M2 better PT measurement (?)
New Muon Filter Geometry

Muon System Support StructureStatus:
Preliminary studies have been done by S.Karpinnen in 1997/1998 (Technical Note EST/LEA/98-02)
Constraints:• Rails of DELPHI - endcap should be re-used if possible• Clearance on cryogenics side is only 9.4m from BP at present, thus right
part of muon stations cannot be moved out fully-› ~12m clearance would simplify access to muon chambers significantly
Consequences:-› Stations should be movable independent of absorber and of each other-› Chambers should be mounted on a frame hanging from the top -› Cables will be guided via the top
Conceptual design for support structure under study in collaboration with infrastructure group
24/03/99 Report to LHCC Referees
Electronics and CablesLocations for electronics:• Boards with a kind of ASD chip on the chambers• Majority-logic and synchronization unit on the sides of the stations• Muon Trigger- and- DAQ-Electronics in the Control Room
Engineer from Cagliari is working on overall design for Muon FE-electronics

Optimization Studies
Rejection of Minimum-Bias-Events is achieved by:• PT - cut between 1-2 GeV • Choice of field of interest (FOI) -› implicit cut on muon momentum
So far, only one x-FOI and one y-FOI per station has been usedImprovement of performance possible with several FOI per station
L0-Muon-Trigger:

Optimization StudiesStrip based algorithm : Improvement of physics performance due to finer granularity using strips ~25% reduction of physical and ~50% reduction of logical channels possible Simplification of chamber construction Less robust against background
Layout:
one pad plane to resolve ambiguities
24/03/99 Report to LHCC Referees
Optimization StudiesStrip based algorithm : strip layout is more sensitive to background
than padsstandard background backgroun

24/03/99 Report to LHCC Referees
Background StudiesBackground Model :• Realistic description of the background is mandatory to
- determine the performance of the L0-Muon-Trigger (including safety factor)- choose a technology for the muon chambers
• Current Model is - based on old detector and beampipe description and low statistics- providing only additional hits in stations 2-5, no particles
• Updated model will take into account- better description of beampipe and its shielding- muon system geometry, chamber description and digitization- new physics generators- neutron efficiencies for gas containing H2 …
Production based on updated model will start in May 1999
24/03/99 Report to LHCC Referees
Optimization StudiesCombined Pad / Strip layout :• Pads in inner part of muon stations solve problem of high occupancy • Strips in outer part allow significant reduction of physical / logical channels
and provide better granularity -› improved physics performance• Algorithm for combined Pad / Strip layout with FOI optimization ready

Optimization StudiesTrigger implementation:• Several geometries have been looked at from trigger implementation point of
view, running the fast identification and the theoretical algorithm • Combined pad/strip layout with strips in outer part of stations 2-5, pads in
station 1and inner part of stations 2-5 - same granularity as TP- 33% reduction of logical channels
