\begin{frame}{MVTX latency}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item The MVTX pixel sensor (ALPIDE) is optimized for a trigger with relatively small latency ($\sim$1.2 $\mu$s)
            \begin{itemize}
                \item We are working on changing the shaping time of the ALPIDE analog frontend so we can trigger at 4 $\mu$s, but no proof of concept yet
            \end{itemize}
        \item MVTX is capable of very high trigger rates (ALICE ITS is designed for up to 400 kHz p-p), could work with a fast but non-selective L0 trigger
    \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Track trigger}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item MVTX is considering the possiblility of a track trigger for displaced vertices ($b$ trigger)
        \item An MVTX track trigger will have significant latency (probably slower than 4 $\mu$s) due to ALPIDE shaping and readout times, plus a complicated trigger decision
        \item This seems to require some sort of event buffering, either at the FEMs or further downstream
        %\item For this we would want a trigger to MVTX as early as possible, and the ability to trigger the rest of sPHENIX as late as possible
    \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Proposals for discussion}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item Is there a possibility to speed up the L1 trigger decision from the current spec of 4 $\mu$s?
            \begin{itemize}
                \item What is the bottleneck?
            \end{itemize}
        \item Fast L0 trigger: can we get a trigger from fast detectors (BBC, ZDC, INTT?) that can be used for MVTX?
            \begin{itemize}
                \item What trigger rate could we expect for an L0 trigger that is a superset of the L1 trigger?
            \end{itemize}
        \item Event buffering: possibility for event buffering in detectors or in main DAQ, such that a track trigger decision can be made?
    \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

%\begin{frame}{Fix vertex fit}
%\begin{columns}
%\column{0.6\textwidth}
%\begin{itemize}
%\item The resolution of the reconstructed mass should be independent of Z but is worse for displaced vertices.
%\item This ad-hoc correction works pretty well: corrM = uncM - 0.15e-3*(elePX/eleP-posPX/posP)*uncVZ/uncM
%\item Hunch: the vertex mass is being calculated using the track directions at $z=0$, or something like that.
