| Web page | Notes |
| FNAL D0 experiment | The DØ Experiment consists of a worldwide collaboration of scientists conducting research on the fundamental nature of matter. The experiment is located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois,USA. The research is focused on precise studies of interactions of protons and antiprotons at the highest available energies. It involves an intense search for subatomic clues that reveal the character of the building blocks of the universe. |
| D0 Central Track Trigger | The D0 central track trigger (CTT) uses the
information from the central fiber tracker (CFT), central preshower
(CPS) and forward preshower (FPS) detectors. The CTT contributes in
both level 1 and level 2 trigger decisions. |
| Jamieson Olsen | Jamieson designed the Digital Front-End board (DFE), the DFE subrack controller (DFEC), the Datapump board. The DFE boards receive the data re-organized by the mixer system. The DFEC is used as subrack controller for the mixer system. The Datapump board has been extensively used as pattern generator/verification tool for mixer system debugging and testing. Jamieson's Engineering notes page provides very useful information and documentation for the integration of the Mixer System in the Central Tracker Trigger. |
| Robert Angstadt | Bob is a D0 collaboration software
engineer. He designed software used in the Mixer System test-stand.
This software allows VME access directly into and out of an
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet running on a personal computer
with a Microsoft operating system (3.x, Win9x, WinNT, Win2000)
via SBS (formerly Bit3) hardware. Information are available
on
Bob's D0 notes web page . |
| John Anderson | John Anderson designed the Analog Front-End Board. John's Engineering notes provide information on the AFE board and on the D0 CTT system. |
| Stefan Gruenendahl | D0 collaboration's particle physicist. |
| Fred Borcherding | D0 collaboration's particle physicist. |
| Gerry Blazey | D0 collaboration's particle physicist. Gerry meeting notes provided a weekly update on D0 CTT progress until September 2002. |
