Level-3 Trigger Strategy

This page will collect the currently planned running times/intensities for GlueX and the expected event rates. A set of requirements for the Level-3 trigger can be collected based on this information to document the design and implementation strategy.

Photon flux in coherent peak (photon/s)	$10^{6}$	$10^{7}$	$10^{7}$	$5x10^{7}$	$10^{8}$
Expected total hadronic event rate (kHz)	??	??	36	180	360
Expected hadronic event rate in coherent peak (kHz)	??	??	0.8	8	16
