Abstract

We report on the development and test of a fast three-dimensional Track-Finder for the Level-1 trigger of the CMS endcap muon system. System tests included four types of custom circuit boards clocked at 40 MHz, optical links, and a high-speed custom auxiliary backplane in a VME crate. The hardware results, calculated using field-programmable gate arrays, programmable logic devices, and memory lookup tables, agreed bit-for-bit with software simulations for both random patterns and realistic tracks.

Funding

We are grateful to G. Mitselmakher, the CMS Muon Project Manager, for numerous useful interactions. We also benefited from many discussions with our colleagues on the Barrel Muon Detector and its trigger, in particular J. Erö, A. Kluge, N. Neumeister, H. Sakulin, T. Wildschek, and G. Wrochna. We thank S. Chandramouly for contributions to the preliminary design of the SR. This work was supported by the US Department of Energy.
