Cinderella: an Online Filter for the COMPASS experiment † — •Thiemo Nagel, Annemarie Dinkelbach, Jan Friedrich, Roland Kuhn, Stephan Paul, and Lars Schmitt — TU München, Physik Department E18
In the 2004 COMPASS beam time, for the first time the Cinderella Online Filter (2nd-level trigger) was used in production. By partially removing 1st-level trigger impurities, the limited storage and bandwidth are utilized better, allowing to take more physics data. The ability to reconstruct a beam track is demanded when filtering muon data, while for hadron data, track multiplicities in hodoscopes and silicon microstrip detectors are used for event selection.
Data reduction of 25% of undesired events is achieved at loss of less than 1% of useful data. The workload of ∼5000 events per second is processed on a cluster with 26 CPUs in parallel.
