Summary and Outlook
PHENIX needs an electron trigger
- with light collision systems, especially p+p
- single electron trigger seems preferred
“Ersatz” EMCal level 1 works reasonably well
- requires a dedicated threshold for electron trigger
simple EMCal - RICH matching really improves it
- allows electron threshold < 1 GeV with light collision systems
- needed for f and charm (single electron) trigger
- sustains x10 blue book luminosity
more sophisticated matching ?
