FPGA-Based Approach to Level-1 Track Finding at CMS for the HL-LHC

The high luminosity upgrade of the LHC is expected to deliver luminosities of 7.5 × 1034 cm−2s−1, with an average of 140–200 overlapping proton-proton collisions in each bunch crossing at a frequency of 40 MHz. To maintain manageable trigger rates under these conditions track reconstruction will be...
