Isolated charged particles can be obtained from minimum bias events.
|
| 4 |
|
|
However with the increase in the luminosity of the machine, the minimum
|
| 5 |
|
|
bias events will be highly suppressed by some large prescale factors in
|
| 6 |
|
|
the trigger. So minimum bias trigger can be considered only at low
|
| 7 |
|
|
luminosities. There are two basic requirements in these measurements:
|
| 8 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
| 9 |
|
|
\item Measurement of response of low momentum particles need to be made
|
| 10 |
|
|
with the hadron calorimeter read out with no zero suppression
|
| 11 |
|
|
scheme. This is needed to overcome the strong nonlinear behaviour
|
| 12 |
|
|
of calorimeter response at lower energies.
|
| 13 |
|
|
\item Calibration of the hadron calorimeter requires large number of
|
| 14 |
|
|
tracks with sufficiently high energy and non-interacting in the
|
| 15 |
|
|
electromagnetic calorimeter.
|
| 16 |
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
Rate for low energy particles is fairly large; but a dedicate trigger may
|
| 19 |
|
|
be needed to have HCAL readout in a special mode. Rate for high momentum
|
| 20 |
|
|
tracks is smaller and prescale for the jet triggers will significantly
|
| 21 |
|
|
cut this rate further. So a dedicated high level trigger may be useful
|
| 22 |
|
|
to provide a comfortable rate for isolated high momentum hadrons.
