Notes

  1. 1.

    From French, Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire.

  2. 2.

    The symmetric backward detector has not been built because of space and economic reasons.

  3. 3.

    For a high luminosity phase, the possibility to use tracker information in the L1 has been investigated [37]; with the current layout, this is not feasible because of the slowness of the response.
