Muon Trigger with TileCal. A Preliminary Investigation

In this short report we summarize a first analysis on how muon can be identified by exploiting fully the TileCal segmentation. After a short description of the geometry and readout scheme of the detector,we analyse its response to single, isolated muons. This allow to define a simple algorithm to tag muons. This algorithm is tested with fully simulated data. The tag efficiency and the fake muon rate are such to suggest that already this simple method can be implemented in a LVL2 trigger, where the digitized TileCal data are fully available to tag muons of momenta larger than 3 GeV
