Trigger System (CLAS12 project)

	a) Trigger System Conceptual design (physics level)
	manpower: scientist
	duration: 3 month
	predecessors: none
	work description: evaluate current Trigger System and its limitations; make a list of new components which can improve a trigger system; present the list of proposed components as a combination of level1 and level2 subsystems communicating to each other; include both existing and proposed detectors into the system; consider good electron identification as primary goal for entire Trigger System
	b) Trigger System simulation, Level 1 (physics level)
	manpower: scientist
	duration: 3 month
	predecessors: (a)
	work description: study the efficiency of proposed components based on CLAS data analysis for existing detectors and simulation results for proposed CLAS12 detectors (if available); the list of components must include cluster finding in calorimeters and matching between different detectors incorporated into Level 1 trigger logic; fixed execution time must be provided for any trigger component; make final list of components which should be included into CLAS12 Level 1 trigger system

Trigger System (cont.)

	c) Trigger System simulation, Level 2 (physics level)
	manpower: scientist
	duration: 6 month
	predecessors: (a)
	work description: study the efficiency of proposed components based on CLAS data analysis for existing detectors and simulation results for proposed CLAS12 detectors (if available); the list of components must include segment finding and road finding in tracking detectors, as well as matching of level1 and level2 outputs; fixed execution time must be provided for any trigger component; make final list of components which should be included into CLAS12 Level 2 trigger system
	d) Trigger System Technical design (electronics level)
	manpower: scientist, electronic engineer
	duration: 3 month
	predecessors: (b)(c)
	work description: study the possibility of implementation of the proposed trigger components on electronic level; redesign proposed algorithms if necessary to make them suitable for available electronics; analyze FADC sums and tracking detectors output requirements; present the first version of CLAS12 Trigger System Technical design

Flash ADC studies (CLAS12 project)

	a) FADC boards studies
	manpower: contract scientist
	duration: 6 month
	predecessors: none
	work description: install and study Struck SIS3320 FADC board (12bit 200MHz 2eSST readout) in test setup and in Hall B; obtain data from CLAS detectors and compare them with Lecroy 1881M data; provide all necessary software libraries; study other FADC boards if available
	b) FADC data analysis
	manpower: scientist
	duration: 3 month
	predecessors: (a)
	work description: analyze FADC data offline; make decisions on data format and data processing algorithms, including recommendations for FADC sums output
