Summary and Outlook
PHENIX needs an electron trigger in 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 for J/Y etc.
- handles 500 GeV running
- sustains x10 blue book luminosity
simulation of 500 GeV p+p running
more sophisticated matching ?
further study of efficiency for signals (J/Y, c)
