Level 1 Time-Of-Flight Trigger

• The Time-Of-Flight Trigger will provide L1 triggers on Highly Ionizing Particls shuch as Monopoles by requiring large pulse-height in TOF scinitillator bars. These HIP signals can also be matched to XFT tracks using the Muon Matchbox hardware. Since two thresholds will be implemented, a MIP trigger requiring a minium number of bars above a MIP threshold will be possible.
