Trigger and data acquisition

The first part of the talk will be an overview of trigger and data acquisition for collider experiments with an historical perspective including trigger rates, data volumes and standard solutions. Then, some front-end essentials like digitizers, signal processing, readout structures, timing and control, etc. will be developed in more detail. The talk will continue with trigger algorithms and some implementation examples from current experiments. After that, the different components of a generic data acquisition system will be reviewed. Then we will talk about readout networks (buses, switches...) event builders, event filters, data storage, etc. Finally, we will cover software related aspects like system configuration and operating modes, run control, data monitoring and quality control.
