SLHC Upgrade R&D

Two Concerns about highest rate ME1/1 Chambers 1) CSC Trigger questionable for >2.1 - for rate split strips in half - for $$$ ganged strips 4 strip modulo 4 2) At SLHC Rates conservative estimate shows SCA overuse in ME1/1 at 10%! - neutron background not well known

Replace Conventional ADC and SCA storage with Flash ADC and Digital Storage• New System Deadtimeless, Removes rate worries• Similar cost to old system Fairly Radical Idea – Couldn’t build 8 Years Ago

Digital CFEB – A Nice Idea for the SLHC

Flash DCFEB R&D Board Status

A complex board (18 layers) Analog-Digital

Ben Bysma (0.5 FTE) -Schematics complete end of August -Board Layout underway -Board Production October - Results Early November We intend to instrumented a chamber with new electronics during the 7TeV14TeV LHC shutdown

Replace ME1/1 board will beused for ME4/2 upgrade chambers
