ATLAS Level-1 Muon Barrel trigger⊛ ATLAS is a general purpose particle detector observing collisions at Large Hadron
Collider(LHC) at 40 MHz rate⊛ The Level-1 Muon Barrel trigger is one of the main elements of the online event selection
of the ATLAS experiment⊛ It exploits the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) detectors to generate the trigger signals⊛ The RPCs are placed in the barrel region of the ATLAS experiment: arranged in three
concentric doublet layers at radius 7 m, 8 m and 10 m, operating in a toroidal magneticfield of 0.5 ∼ 1 Tesla
⊛ The Level-1 Muon Barrel trigger allows to select muon candidates according to theirtransverse momentum → 3 low pT thresholds and 3 high pT thresholds

ATLAS Resistive Plate Chambers⊛ Parallel resistive (bakelite) plates are separated by 2 mm gas gap with insulating spacers⊛ Gas mixture of C2H2F4(94.7%, ionization gas), C4H10(5.0%, quencher gas) and
SF6(0.3%, electronegative gas) operated in safe avalanche mode applying a nominal HVof 9.6 kV
⊛ Orthogonal η and ϕ readout strips with 23-35 mm pitch⊛ ∼ 1 ns intrinsic time resolution → designed to identify proton bunches separated by 25 ns⊛ RPC detector chamber consists of 2 detector layers with 2 η and 2 ϕ readout panels⊛ RPC detectors cover the pseudo-rapidity range |η|<1.05 (θ < 38°) for a total surface of
about 4000 m2 and ∼ 3600 gas volumes (with 380k readout channels)

RPC detector response⊛ Measure RPC detector response with muons produced in pp collisions
− Muon candidates are reconstructed primarily withMDT detector and RPC ϕ coordinate readout
− Extrapolate muon tracks from MDT through magneticfield and material to RPC surface
− Muon induced ionization and avalanche → inducedsignal in RPC readout strips → hit is signal abovereadout threshold in one strip

Trigger timing performance⊛ The RPC hits (muon signals) ”online” calibration is performed using programmable delays
in steps of 3.125 ns (1/8 BC)⊛ 99.6% - 99.7% of the Level-1 Muon barrel trigger hits are associated to the correct bunch
crossing with good stability during data taking period except a few outliers due to a triggertower losing synchronization during a run
⊛ Correct bunch crossing (BC) association is one of the main requirements of the Level-1Muon Barrel trigger and the RPC trigger is capable of satisfying the requirement

Front End discriminator thresholds scan⊛ ATLAS RPC detectors are planned to operate until ∼ 2040⊛ At HL-LHC (L ∼ 7.5× 1034cm−2s−1) the integrated charge collected in the avalanche
will be enough high to limit the detector lifetime⊛ It is proposed to lower the HV in the RPC gas-gaps (9.6 kV → 9.2 kV). At the same time,
new RPCs will be installed in the innermost layer of the Muon Barrel Spectrometer toincrease the redundancy of the trigger system and the trigger efficiency
⊛ Study response of few RPC detectors at nominal and lower HV with different FE thresholds
high gain → efficiency increasing by ∼ 20%at HV = 9.2 kV from VFE = 1.0 V to 1.2 V

Summary and conclusions
⊛ Muon barrel RPC triggers selecting muon candidates at 40 MHz collision rate are of crucialimportance for the ATLAS experiment
⊛ Many studies has been done to monitor the RPC performance continuously during the year⊛ ATLAS RPCs have been working with excellent performance (both detector and trigger)
since the completion of the system in 2008 even working at a instantaneous luminosity of afactor of 2 larger than the designed
⊛ Preliminary studies indicate that existing ATLAS RPCs will perform well at higherinstantaneous luminosity
⊛ Extra RPC chambers (BIS7/8) to install for Run 3 → See talk from Lorenzo Massa andextensive detector upgrades to prepare for High Luminosity LHC including new RPC innertriplet layer and new readout electronics → See talk from Yongjie Sun
