1 Overview of the ATLAS Fast Tracker (FTK) (daughter of the very successful CDF SVT) July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 1
2 What is it for? At the LHC design accelerator intensity: New phenomena: 0.05 Hz Total interaction rate: 1 GHz (40 MHz beam crossings) Many possible new phenomena produce heavy b quarks which can only be distinguished from the bulk of the background by reconstructing the individual tracks. The problem! beam pipe few mm We are proposing to significantly enhance the ability of ATLAS to rapidly identify b quarks in the trigger. Currently done in commodity PC s. This is slow and becomes slower as the accelerator intensity and thus track density increase. July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 2

12 Data Organizer Receives hits from Data Formatters. Stores hits at full resolution in a way that is rapidly accessible by pattern number. Sends hits at coarser resolution (superbin) to pattern recognition unit (Associative Memory). Receives patterns from AM, retrieves full resolution hits, and sends road number and hits to the Track Fitter. July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 12
13 Track Fitter Receives road # and associated hits from Data Organizers. Computes all hit combinations Calculate the track parameters curvature, azimuthal angle, polar angle, z 0, impact parameter and the goodness of fit (χ 2 ) using a linear correction to the mean for that sector (excellent precision over a sector). sector: a physical silicon module in each layer pixels: 1" x 2.5 " strips: 2.5" x 5 " July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 13

Output good tracks to ROBIN. July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 14

July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 20
21 Missing hit problem To obtain high reconstruction efficiency, we must allow one physical detector layer to miss a hit. The constants in the parameter and constraint equations are different when there is a missing hit. Store 12 sets of constants (all hits, a miss in one of 11 layers). A lot of memory that has to be accessed very quickly. Can one look ahead for the constant set that will be needed next? Alternative is to estimate the hit location in the missing layer. How long does it take? July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 21
22 Size of the constant memory 210 words/constant set ( ) If we need 2-byte precision 420 bytes/constant set One constant set/sector. Currently estimate 100k sectors in an FTK crate. 42 Mbytes of fast memory 0.5 Gbyte if solve missing hit problem with more memory We have heard that with the latest FPGAs, there is very fast access to external computer-like memory. Is that true? July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 22
23 How many fitters are needed? The number of cycles from the time the data from a road is in the input FIFO until the track parameters are in the output FIFO is approximately: NfitCycl = Ncomb Nhits (all 14 calculations done in parallel) A road packet takes Nhits + 1 Data Organizer clock cycles to be sent to the Track Fitter. Thus if we are to have 0 deadtime from track fitting, we need the number of parallel fitters (there are 40 in a chip), Nfitters, satisfying: Nhits + 1 NfitCycl 1 = DO freq fitter freq Nfitters This translates into a maximum average Ncomb of Nfitters ClockRatio (Nhits + 1)/Nhits where ClockRatio is the ratio of the fitter to DO clock speeds. We will have to satisfy this: road width, # of FPGAs. July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 23
24 Hit Warrior function One can easily get many tracks (ghosts) from a single real particle due to presence of extra random silicon hits. Compare a new track with those already found. If new one has 8 or more hits in common with a stored track, keep only the best χ 2 track. If space permits, add this function to the Track Fitter. July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 24
25 Spy Buffer Data flows very quickly through this system. By the time any PC using its output detects a problem, the data would already be long gone from the FTK. That makes diagnosing a problem that is occurring internally in the FTK extremely difficult. We found it very useful in the SVT to have deep buffers at the input and output of every board in the system. Then, when a problem is detected, these spy buffers can be frozen in the entire system and read out. The buffer is deep enough so the event with the error is still inside it. This allows diagnosing and fixing subtle problems. July 24, 2008 M. Shochet 25
