Abstract

Requirements and constraints are presented for a 40 MHz track finder at CMS for the High Luminosity LHC. A track finding system is proposed that exploits high bandwidth FPGA-based processing boards and a time-multiplexed data delivery approach. The design of a demonstrator slice built from currently available hardware is outlined; a series of optically daisy-chained MP7 processing cards running algorithms based on the Hough Transform and Kalman Filter methods.
