The BLS inputs to each ADF are detailed here: http://www.pa.msu.edu/hep/d0/ftp/run2b/l1cal/hardware/adf_2/cards_and_crates/adf_crate_card_layout.txt Take two examples from crate M104. SLOT: ETA RANGE: PHI RANGE: 2 eta +1:+4 phi 1:4 14 eta -1:-4 phi 17:20 Each ADF has 16 channels, labelled in terms of offset from nominal eta and phi. The EM and HAD data for these 16 channels (32 total) are sent as input to TAB, labelled as channels 0-31. Taking the two slots above as examples we have: ADF TAB BLS SIGNALS offset channel SLOT 2 SLOT 3 eta phi EM HAD eta phi eta phi 0 0 0 1 +1 1 -1 1 0 1 2 3 +1 2 -1 2 0 2 4 5 +1 3 -1 3 0 3 6 7 +1 4 -1 4 1 0 8 9 +2 1 -2 1 1 1 10 11 +2 2 -2 2 1 2 12 13 +2 3 -2 3 1 3 14 15 +2 4 -2 4 2 0 16 17 +3 1 -3 1 2 1 18 19 +3 2 -3 2 2 2 20 21 +3 3 -3 3 2 3 22 23 +3 4 -3 4 3 0 24 25 +4 1 -4 1 3 1 26 27 +4 2 -4 2 3 2 28 29 +4 3 -4 3 3 3 30 31 +4 4 -4 4 Note that the offset is in the positive direction for positive eta, and the negative direction for negative eta! This means that the postive eta chips in the TAB (chips 0-4) have the lowest eta first, while the negative eta chips (5-9) have the highest eta first! This implies a different mapping of input channels to physical eta and phi. For positive eta chips we have the following mapping of input EM,HAD channels to eta and phi: 8 7 (OVERLAP REGION) 6 P 5 6, 7 14,15 22,23 30,31 H 4 4, 5 12,13 20,21 28,29 I 3 2, 3 10,11 18,19 26,27 2 0, 1 8, 9 16,17 24,25 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ETA And for negavie chips: 8 7 (OVERLAP REGION) 6 P 5 30,31 22,23 14,15 6, 7 H 4 28,29 20,21 12,13 4, 5 I 3 26,27 18,19 10,11 2, 3 2 24,25 16,17 8, 9 0, 1 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ETA And similarly for the inputs for the phi overlap regions. The eta overlap regions are communicated from TAB chip to TAB chip, so once this remapping is accomplished at the input, no additional remapping is needed there.
