| Summary: | The ATLAS experiment pushes the leading edge of experimental particle physics. Increasingly complex hardware, however, brings increasingly complex problems which
manifest themselves not only in the detector, but also within the software which
drives the detector. The magnitude of the expected interaction rate, too, adds enormous stress to the detector system and the software trigger. In order to prepare
the software for these challenges, various detector quantities are considered which
may provide debugging handles and robustness against detector problems arising in
the ATLAS calorimeter trigger. The effect of electronics noise suppression on these
quantities is studied and a brief study of the software trigger performance is followed
by recommendations for the implementation of robustness checks. |
