A high P[sub T] muon trigger processor

This paper reports on high P[sub T] leptons which provides an important means of identifying heavy-quark events in hadroproduction experiments. In a fixed-target heavy-quark experiment, a major part of the relevant solid angle is contained in a modest solid angle near the beam direction. A high P[su...

Description
Summary:This paper reports on high P[sub T] leptons which provides an important means of identifying heavy-quark events in hadroproduction experiments. In a fixed-target heavy-quark experiment, a major part of the relevant solid angle is contained in a modest solid angle near the beam direction. A high P[sub T] muon trigger has been designed and built for application in E771, an 800 GeV experiment on beauty hadrons at Fermilab. The trigger processor uses 2-dimensional pad chamber signals to identify straight line trajectories downstream of a single analyzing magnet. High P[sub T] muons have trajectories with relatively little deviation by the magnet. These are made to give a trigger, with a processing time of about 150 nanoseconds.
