Progress report for 1995-1996
We have been involved in several projects during the present contract period. These include completion of our work on the RD94 test runs performed at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven; the PhD. thesis project of Ziyang Zhang which was completed during the year, was based on this work. We have continued our Monte Carlo simulation work. This includes studies of trigger rates in the muon identifier of the PHENIX experiment for RHIC. In addition to this we have continued our involvement in developing upgrades for the PISA and PISORP simulation codes for PHENIX. We are most heavily involved in work on the E866 experiment at Fermilab. GSU has taken on the task of modifying the trigger system for this experiment. A third level trigger based on digital signal processors (DSP`s) mounted on a VME bus is being developed for this. We feel that this project will be a valuable training ground for our work on PHENIX. We expect that the expertise that we acquire in development of the Level-3 trigger system for E866 will enable us to contribute significantly to development of the PHENIX trigger and online event processing system, especially for the PHENIX Muon Arms. These projects are discussed in detail in the following pages.
