Muon
Scintillator Front End crate which is near by the cosmic trigger NIM crate. |
 |
Coincidence of the
two end PMT signals is formed to reduce random noise trigger.
This coincidence forms another conicidence with TOP cosmic cap to contrain
cosmic ray to the beam line. This is the low rate (0.05Hz) trigger.The
TOP cosmic cap scintillator coincidence to A-f
counter signals forms the high rate trigger. |
 |
This
NIM crate is at the top of the detector on the West corner. The left
fanout module accepts the signals from the two ends of the beam counter.
The second module forms two separate coincidence trigger signals. |
 |
The
two outputs (green cables on the left corner of the picture) from the coincidence
module is routed through SE surface of the Toroid to the patch panel under
the platform. The cable bridge can be seen on the right corner of
the picture. |
 |
This
patch panel was used for Main Ring VETO counters during Run I.
It is located on the NW corner under the platform. |
 |
A
close-up view of patch panel. The beam counter installed at its position.
The trigger signals from the detector go to the back of the patch panel.
The two RG158 (green) cables at the bottm right corner carries the low
(top) and high (bottom) rate trigger signals to L1 Framework in MCH1. |
 |
The
two cables, carrying the low (right) and high (left) rate triggers are
input to this NIM 4614 NIM-to-ECL converter before transferred into L1
Framework. |
 |
The
signals from the cosmic trriggers need to be timed with the DØ
master
clock, shown in the bottom crate, in order for L1 framework to issue L1
accept to other crates in accelerator timing. |
