Abstract Details

2016, Bachelor of Sciences, Ohio University, Physics and Astronomy.
At Jefferson Lab, physicists are currently using Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) as a method for extracting information about subatomic particles. In order to cut down on the time that the data acquisition system spends storing the massive amounts of data received from these experiments, a hardware selection system, known as a trigger, is applied to the data produced by the detectors. The end goal of this project is to explore an alternative triggering system, namely an analog sum trigger, to be used as a backup should the current method have future technical difficulties, and to compare the efficiencies of the two triggering methods. Both trigger methods are simulated and applied to data taken in 2010. Using a realistic threshold, the current DVCS trigger system was found to be more efficient than the analog sum trigger, nevertheless the analog sum is a workable solution.
