- For
- CMS detector researchers and High-Luminosity LHC readers
- Worth noticing
- The page describes rejecting photodiode signals caused by direct hadron ionization so the Level-1 trigger can keep real energy deposits.
Field notes
The site breaks the work into electronics replacement, DAQ and DQM software, and rejection of false spike signals, with a timeline from test-supermodule work through planned removal and reinsertion of ECAL supermodules. It gives the scale as 75,848 crystals and says collision counts per bunch crossing may rise from about 60 to as many as 200. The named contact is Asst. Prof. Marko Kovač at the University of Split’s Faculty of Science.
