Figure 46: Longitudinal view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> current RPC trigger towers in one quadr<strong>an</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> detector. Chambers<br />

in areas marked with green (RE1/1, RE2/1) were modified to have increased number <strong>of</strong> strips to simulate <strong>the</strong> use<br />

<strong>of</strong> GE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d GE2/1 <strong>GEM</strong> stations in those locations.<br />

Extensive in<strong>for</strong>mation on pattern generation c<strong>an</strong> be found in [26].<br />

5.2 <strong>GEM</strong> geometry<br />

The RPC trigger emulation in <strong>the</strong> st<strong>an</strong>dard <strong>CMS</strong> experiment s<strong>of</strong>tware framework (<strong>CMS</strong>SW, [25]) was used without<br />

major ch<strong>an</strong>ges. During trigger emulation, <strong>the</strong> RPC trigger logic was enabled only in trigger towers 13-16, which is<br />

<strong>the</strong> region were <strong>the</strong> RPC geometry was ch<strong>an</strong>ged to a <strong>GEM</strong>-like geometry. A modified version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> baseline TDR<br />

<strong>CMS</strong> detector geometry [27] was used, with four fully instrumented chamber pl<strong>an</strong>es present in <strong>the</strong> endcap regions<br />

with |η| coverage up to 2.1. The potential r<strong>an</strong>ge extension up to |η| = 2.4 as discussed above has not yet been<br />

implemented in <strong>the</strong> emulation as this extended r<strong>an</strong>ge was not part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> original design geometry <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> RPCs.<br />

Fig. 46 shows <strong>the</strong> RPC trigger tower segmentation in a longitudinal view <strong>of</strong> one quadr<strong>an</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> detector<br />

as given in <strong>the</strong> original <strong>Muon</strong> TDR. The geometry description <strong>of</strong> chambers RE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d RE2/1 marked by green<br />

rect<strong>an</strong>gles was modified by increasing <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> strips in <strong>the</strong>se layers to emulate <strong>the</strong> higher gr<strong>an</strong>ularity <strong>of</strong><br />

GE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d GE2/1 <strong>GEM</strong> chambers. For this study, <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> strips in <strong>the</strong> RPC chambers in <strong>the</strong> third <strong>an</strong>d fourth<br />

endcap layer (RE 3/x <strong>an</strong>d 4/x) was not ch<strong>an</strong>ged since <strong>the</strong> bending power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> magnetic field is small in this region<br />

when compared to <strong>the</strong> region where RE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d RE2/1 are located.<br />

In total 4 different strip readout geometries were tested:<br />

• base - baseline RPC design geometry as outlined in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Muon</strong> TDR ([27])<br />

• 2× - geometry with two times higher number <strong>of</strong> strips in RE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d RE2/1<br />

• 4× - geometry with four times higher number <strong>of</strong> strips in RE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d RE2/1<br />

• 8× - geometry with eight times higher number <strong>of</strong> strips in RE1/1 <strong>an</strong>d RE2/1<br />
