Undergraduate Honors Thesis
High-Level Synthesis of the MET Module for Upgrades to the CMS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider Public Deposited
- Abstract
The phase 2 upgrade at the LHC is expected to increase the data rate in all experiments including the CMS detector. This upgrade is a part of the search for dark matter particles. However, due to the high data rate, an enhanced Level-1 trigger is required. The MET module will be a part of this trigger. The MET module calculates the Missing Transverse Energy of the CMS events. Events with high MET indicate a possibility of containing dark matter particle, and they will be agged for closer inspection. This process should reduce the strain on the software where a more complex analysis is performed. The MET module is implemented in hardware and performs preliminary lters and calculations. The resource utilization and timing of the module is reasonable and can t with the other L1 trigger algorithms. More testing and optimization is still possible.
