The LHCb experiment is currently taking data with a completely renewed DAQ system, capable for the first time of performing full real-time reconstruction all collision events occurring at LHC point 8. Collaboration now pursuing further upgrade (“LHCb Upgrade-II”), to enable retain same capability luminosities an order magnitude larger than maximum planned current Run3. To this purpose, vigorous R&D program ongoing boost processing LHCb, needed cope both luminosity increase and adoption...
Long-lived particles (LLPs) are highly motivated signals of physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) with great discovery potential and unique experimental challenges. The LLP search programme made advances during Run 2 Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but many important regions signal space remain unexplored. Dedicated triggers crucial to improve searches, their development expansion is necessary for full exploitation new data. public discussion has therefore been a relevant theme in recent...
The slowdown of Moore's law and the growing requirements future HEP experiments with ever-increasing data rates pose important computational challenges for reconstruction trigger systems, encouraging exploration new computing methodologies. In this work we discuss a FPGA-based tracking system, relying on massively parallel pattern recognition approach, inspired by processing visual images natural brain ("retina architecture"). This method allows large efficiency utilisation hardware, low...
In 2021 the LHCb experiment will be upgraded, and DAQ system based on full reconstruction of events, at LHC crossing rate. This requires an entirely new system, capable reading out, building reconstructing events average rate 30 MHz. facing this challenge, could take advantage a fast pre-processing data dedicated FPGAs. The results R&D these technologies, developed in context Upgrade I, are presented document. particular, details potential benefits approach producing real-time sorted...
Abstract In run-3, beginning in 2022, the LHCb software trigger will start reconstructing events at LHC average crossing rate of 30 MHz. Within upgraded DAQ system, established a testbed for new heterogeneous computing solutions real-time event reconstruction, view future runs even higher luminosities. One such solution is highly-parallelized custom tracking processor (“Artificial Retina”), implemented state art FPGA devices connected by fast serial links. We describe status realistic...
The LHCb experiment is undergoing a major upgrade in view of Run-3, which the complete detector will be read out, and events fully reconstructed, at full LHC crossing rate (averaging 30 MHz). One key steps event reconstruction finding tracks new, high precision pixel vertex (VELOPIX). This step necessary starting point for most rest reconstruction, requires significant fraction (close to half) total CPU time that availabe upgraded Event Filter Farm. We present current status R&D project...

For the future high luminosity LHC runs, it is expected to reconstruct events more complex than actual ones. in view of this need, LHCb Collaboration has established a testbed for heterogeneous computing equipment develop solutions real-time event reconstruction integrated with DAQ infrastructure. The most advanced one highly-parallelized tracking processor, based on "Artificial Retina", which uses set FPGA, data are distributed using custom optical mesh speed links. aim at implement...
