文摘

A next generation real time trigger method to improve the enrichment of lepton events in the High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer (HADES) trigger system has been developed. In addition, a flexible Hardware Platform (Gigabit Ethernet-Multi-Node, GE-MN) was developed to implement and test the trigger method. The trigger method correlates the ring information of the HADES Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector with the fired wires (drift cells) of the HADES Mini Drift Chamber (MDC) detector. It is demonstrated that this Level 3 trigger method can enhance the number of events which contain leptons by a factor of up to 50 at efficiencies above 80 % . The performance of the correlation method in terms of the events analyzed per second has been studied with the GE-MN prototype in a lab test setup by streaming previously recorded experiment data to the module.
