The upgrade of the LHCb trigger system

Abstract

The LHCb experiment will operate at a luminosity of $2\times 10^{33}$ cm${}^{-2}$s${}^{-1}$ during LHC Run 3. At this rate the present readout and hardware Level-0 trigger become a limitation, especially for fully hadronic final states. In order to maintain a high signal efficiency the upgraded LHCb detector will deploy two novel concepts: a triggerless readout and a full software trigger.
