In the upcoming Fermilab Tevatron collider run, [Formula: see text] collisions will occur at 132 ns intervals, and the CDF II trigger system requires that information about drift chamber tracks be provided within 2.2 μs of every collision, so that tracking information can be used in conjunction with data from other detector components to trigger on physics objects with little background. We have developed a fast online track processor for locating high-momentum tracks in the chamber. The design is highly parallel, and is implemented in programmable logic devices. We describe the design of the system and performance tests.

Effective selection of muon candidates is the cornerstone of the LHC physics programme. The ATLAS experiment uses a two-level trigger system for real-time selection of interesting collision events. The first-level hardware trigger system uses the Resistive Plate Chamber detector (RPC) for selecting muon candidates in the central (barrel) region of the detector. With the planned upgrades, the entirely new FPGA-based muon trigger system will be installed in 2025-2026. In this paper, neural network regression models are studied for potential applications in the new RPC trigger system. A simple simulation model of the current detector is developed for training and testing neural network regression models. Effects from additional cluster hits and noise hits are evaluated. Efficiency of selecting muon candidates is estimated as a function of the transverse muon momentum. Several models are evaluated and their performance is compared to that of the current detector, showing promising potential to improve on current algorithms for the ATLAS Phase-II barrel muon trigger upgrade.
