• Introduction
• Trigger condition
• The hardware design of EMC Trigger System
• Module details

Introduction

• The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) comprises
  of ??? 44?120 5280CsI crystals in barrel, 960
  crystals in endcaps, which is used to detect
  photons and electrons, to select Bhabha events
  and pure neutral events.

4

• BESIII EMC Trigger System has two ways to pick
  out good events . One is based on the position
  and counts of the cluster, the other is based on
  the position of the energy block and the total
  energy deposition in the EMC.

5

Trigger condition

• Trigger cell.
• The trigger condition from the trigger clusters.
• The trigger condition for energy selection.

6
Trigger cell

• 1?size and threshold
• 44 crystals make up a trigger cell
• in the barrel while in the endcap this
• number changes to 15 or 16
• TC threshold is chosen as 60-80Mev .
• 2?the rising-edge of the over-threshold
• signal contains the timing information of
• the TC.
• 3?In order to pick out real, isolated
• clusters, the cluster isolating algorithm
• must be applied to all the neighboring
• Clusters.

7

• BEMC use 33 TCs to pick out the isolated
  clusters according to the most right and top
  rule. For example , to judge the NO.0 TC, NO.0
  must be hit,NO.1 and NO.3 cant be hit ,NO.4
  and NO.8 cant be hit together.
• EEMC each endcap has 32 TCs ,which are later
  transformed into 16 big TCs. For example ,NO.0
  and NO.1 are big TCS, to judge the NO.0 TC, NO.0
  must be hit and NO.1 cant be hit.

The trigger condition from the trigger
clusters

• 1?The clusters in the barrel Nclus gt1,
• Nclus gt2.
• 2?Back to Back condition in the barrel
• and endcap. (BclusBB,EclusBB)
• Barrel One cluster corresponds to
• 35 (Z??)clusters in the opposite
• position.
• Endcap One cluster corresponds to
• 3 clusters in the opposite position.

9

• 3?Cluster balance in ? direction
• Barrel TCs in the same ? direction are organized
  into 30 cell strips using the method of logic
  or. One cell strip corresponds to 15 cell
  strips in the opposite position.
• Endcap One big TC corresponds to 7 TCs in the
  opposite position.
• -------balance of the barrel balance of
  the endcap Clus_PHI.
• 4?Cluster balance in z direction
• Both sides should have an isolated cluster at the
  same time.

10
The trigger condition for energy selection

• 12 energy blocks for barrel , EB1-EB6(EAST),WB1-WB
  6(WEST).
• 4 energy blocks for endcap, EEB1,EEB2,WEB1,WEB2.
• 1?Energy threshold the high threshold for the
  total energy deposition in the barrel (BEtot_H
  )and in the endcap (Eetot_H) is 2.3Gev.
• 2?The middle threshold for the total energy
  deposition(Etot_M) is 700Mev and the low
  threshold for the total energy deposition
  (Etot_L) is 200Mev.
• 3?Energy balance in z direction (BL_Z ).
• 4?Differential energy balance in z direction
  (Diff_B and Diff-E).
• 5? Energy block balance(BL_BLK).
• 6? Endcap energy balance in z direction (BL_EEMC).

11
The hardware design
Comparing the sum of the energy deposition both
in barrel and endcap with the corresponding
threshold and create the energy trigger
condition . Process the block energy to get the
balance condition of energy.

• comparing the TC energy with the energy threshold
  for the cluster counting, picking out the time
  information of the EMC ,adding the TC energy to
  the block energy.

  energy threshold for the cluster counting,
  picking out the time information of the EMC
  ,adding the TC energy to the block energy.
• CSUM module the Read-in and arrangement of the
  TC, pick out the isolated clusters using the
  cluster isolating algorithm , create some trigger
  condition such as cluster counting ,back to
  back, and so on.
• ETOT module Comparing the sum of the energy
  deposition both in barrel and endcap with the
  corresponding threshold and create the energy
  trigger condition . Process the block energy to
  get the balance condition of energy.
• TCBAT module create the test signals for the
  TCBA module . 30 channel LVDS signals ,L1, TSYNC,
  FRST, RST and CLK signals.

Module Detail

• TCBA module

14

• 1?Timing circuit.
• Abundant time information exists in the detector
  output signals.
• The performance of the signals from the
  preamplifier
• Maxim amplitude 2V
• Gain uniformity 20
• Shaping parameter uniformity 20
• Peak time 1 ?s
• When the amplitude and peak time of the input
  signals change, time jitter should be small.

15

• We need to find the zero crossing time, which is
  difficult to confirm. Thats why a proper
  threshold might play an important role here. Low
  might be good but too low will cause noise
  trouble.
• Case 1 the signal amplitude changes, here
  P1,P2. (T2-T1) is the time jitter.
• Case 2 the signal peak time changes, here
  P1,P3. (T3-T1)is the time jitter.

16

• we use two ways on the test board comparing
  with each other.
• Zero crossing timing
• Leading edge timing
• As a result , leading edge timing is better.

17

• 2?TCs Energy adding circuit.
• We add up the 30 channel TCs energy to the block
  energy by two amplifier layers.
• A FADC is needed to convert the block energy to
  digital signal.
• The digital energy signal is divided into two
  parts, one is transmitted through fiber after
  parallel-to-serial conversion. The other is
  partly stored in FPGA for testing later.

18

• 3?FPGA
• To receive the digital output signals of FADC and
  discriminator. Working at normal mode ,FPGA just
  send the data to TLK1501(parallel-to-serial).
  While at test mode, FPGA can read, write, and
  interrupt through VME bus.
• The interrupt service allows the vme bus to read
  out the data saved in FPGA RAM in the BLOCK
  READ way, through which we can get the data to
  recover the analog block energy signal and get
  the relative time jitter.

The recovered analog signal
19

• All the above is for the primary function of TCBA
  module.
• In the second version, an analog switch is added
  to eliminate the noise .When the signal crosses
  this threshold , the switch is turned on, then
  the signal is allowed to go into the adding
  circuit.
• In the third version, we use ROCKETIO mode
  instead of TLK1501 to do parallel-to-serial
  conversion. Monostable multivibrator is used to
  stretch and delay the discriminated signals .(In
  the first two version, this is done in FPGA.)
  Then the and signals are converted from TTL to
  LVDS, then to FPGA. The LVDS signal level is
  lower than TTL , which can reduce the cross-talk
  interference. version 1 and version 2 has already
  been finished and PCB of version 3 is also ready
  now.

12 barrel TCBA boards and 4 encap TCBA boards

• 1?Array the discriminated
• signals received from TCBA.
• The barrel data is reconstructed
• to a diagram and the endcap
• data is stored in two 32-bit
• registers.

22

• 2?Cluster isolating algorithm.
• TC 0(6 of line 3) is determined by TC 0 ,TC 1(6
  of line 2), TC 3( 7 of line 3) , TC 4 (6 of line
  4) and TC 8( 7 of line 4).

• 3?Trigger condition
• Different algorithm creates
• different condition . its
• impossible to introduce
• all kinds of algorithm, so
• I just want to introduce the
• algorithm of BCLUSBB.

• BCLUSBB( back-to-back condition of barrel)
• Firstly, a reverse is taken from line NO.0 to
  NO.14.
• Secondly , after and method is applied among
  line NO.15 to NO.29, which means it is used for
  one TC and the 15 corresponding neighboring TCs
  , the logics are stored to their original
  position.
• Finally, a new planar table is created.

25

• use the formula below to get the BCLUSBB
  condition.
• If (R0N and R15OR) (R1Nand R16OR) (R13N
  and R28OR) (R14N and R29OR) is 000000000000
  ,BCLUSBB is 0, else BCLUSBB is 1.

26

• 4?FPGA on-line configuration
• VME can read ,write ,erase and reset the FLASH
  Memory by CPLD .
• After Power-On, the configuration data in Flash
  Memory will be configured into FPGA by CPLD.
• If VME gives a reconfiguration signal, the data
  in Flash Memory can be reconfigured into FPGA.
• VME can also reconfigure FPGA by CPLD without
  Flash Memory.

27

• We are debugging the CSUM version 1 now.
• The ETOT is still in design and to be
  implemented. We are going to use the same PCB as
  CSUM.

28
TCBAT module( test board for TCBA)

• The output analog signal is from DAC, which is
  controlled by FPGA.
• The amplitude of the output signal is controlled
  by the digital potentiometer.
• The output is 32-channel LVDS signal and
  L1,TSYNC,FRST,RST and CLK signals.

29

• This module has been finished.
• The diagram below is the waveform of the output
  signal.
