The Level 2 Section of Trigger_Examine


The Users' L2 Examine

This is the Examine that will be run by the Global Monitor shifter, in order to keep an eye on the system. The instructions for the GM shifter are available here.

The plots are organized into inputs to the Level 2 workers, and those that passed the Level 2 global processor. Every event in the Global plots have passed a Level 2 trigger, but there is no information in the Examine as to which trigger was passed. The Worker plots have events that have passed a Level 1 trigger (i.e., these events are inputs to Level 2), but the events might have passed any Level 1 trigger, or multiple triggers.

Global 

	Object			Histogram		Description
	------			---------		-----------
	Electromagnetic 	number per event	electrons in all events that passed L2
		Objects		Pt			exponenential decay, thresholds at 5 and 10 GeV
				eta			~symmetrical, dips at ICR (1.1-1.2)
				phi			~flat
				eta vs. phi		white boxes for masked hot cells, bands for ICR
							  - compare to previous plots	
				isolation		electron isloation
				EM fraction		EM fraction cut above 0.8

	Jets			number per event	jets in all events that passed L2
				Pt			thresholds at 5 and 20 GeV (set by trigger list)
				eta			~symmetrical, dips at ICR (1.1-1.2)

	Muons			number per event	muons in all events that passed L2
				Pt			thresholds at 2 and 5 GeV
				eta			~symmetrical, dip at zero
				phi			~9 spikes (Phi information sometimes gets 
							   lumped to the center of a pad.  Central and
							   Forward don't line up exactly.  So, ~9 spikes.)
				eta vs. phi		darker phi bands for the phi spikes
				quality			1 for loose, 2 for medium, 3 for tight muons
							  (no muons are double-counted)
				sign			0 for negative, 1 for positive (usually more negs
							  than positive - don't know why)

				eta vs. phi		darker phi bands for the phi spikes	

In order to make sure everything is running correctly, it will be necessary to compare current plots to standard plots. There are several such plots available on the web. Linked here are plots which show events that have passed the Level 2 jet trigger, and plots with events that passed the Level 2 EM object trigger.

If, for some reason, that link proves inadequate, root files containing past Examine histograms can be found on d0ol38 at /scratch/trigger_examine/data/L2_TrigEx.root.(date recorded), and can be viewed in root.



The L2 Experts' Examine

There is another version of the Examine, which was designed for use by Level 2 experts, primarily for system debugging and commissioning. This Examine shows slightly more details in its plots, and it has the ability to select plots that correspond to a particular trigger bit. Link to the instructions here.

These plots are organized in the same way, but also by trigger bits. As of today, the Examine fills the following plots for Trigger Bit 18 and for Trigger Bit 22 (I expect that those numbers will be changed frequently).

Global 

	Object			Histogram	Description
	------			---------	-----------
	Electromagnetic 	Pt		Plots are of electrons that passed
		Objects		eta		  the L2 trigger specified in
				phi		  the expert examine itself.
				eta vs. phi			
				isolation
				EM fraction

	Jets			Pt		Plots are of jets that passed
				eta		  the L2 trigger specified in
				phi		  the expert examine itself.
				eta vs. phi			

	Muons			Pt		Plots are of muons that passed
				eta		  the L2 trigger specified in
				phi		  the expert examine itself.
				eta vs. phi			
				quality
				sign			

Workers

	Object			Histogram	  Description
	------			---------	  -----------
	Calorimeter Jets 	Et		  Plots are of jets that are input 
				eta		  to L2 (passed any L1 trigger),
				phi		  for those events that passed the 
				eta vs. phi	  specified L2 trigger.

	Calorimeter EM 		Et		  Plots are of electrons that are input
	       Objects		eta		  to L2 (passed any L1 trigger),
				phi		  for those events that passed the 
				eta vs. phi	  specified L2 trigger.
				isolation
				EM fraction

	Muons	 	Plots are of muons that are input to L2 (passed any L1 trigger),
			for those events that passed that specified L2 trigger.
				number per event	muons in all events that passed L1 
									(central and forward combined)

	Central Muons		pt			the pt measurement of the central muons (spike at 0)
				eta			~symmetrical, dip at zero 
				phi			~6 spikes (Phi information sometimes gets 
							   lumped to the center of a pad.) 
				eta vs. phi		darker phi bands for the phi spikes	

	Forward Muons		pt			the pt measurement of the forward muons (spike at 0)
				eta			~symmetrical, dip at zero
				phi			~6 spikes (Phi information sometimes gets 
							   lumped to the center of a pad.) 
				eta vs. phi		darker phi bands for the phi spikes	


There are some reference plots for the experts' Examine, too. Linked here are plots which show events that have been passed by Level 2's EM worker, plots with events passed by the jet worker , and plots passed by the muon worker .

Past histogram files can also be found in the scratch area on d0ol38, /scratch/trigger_examine.p11.09/data/L2_TrigExpert.root.(date recorded), and viewed with root.
