hi Zhenyu,

   The minimum deadtime will be 15% at 4.6 kHz, 21% at 6.5 kHz. It would be good to know if that will be acceptable, i.e. losing 21% of rare triggers maybe will be objected to?

Hi Tonko and Gerard

Thanks for the effort to reduce the dead time.

As you have heard from the trigger board meeting, there is an interest to including forward trackers in mid-rapidity program.
>From what Tonko wrote, there seems to be large room for improvement on FST rate to go up from 4600 to 6500 Hz. If we could do that, it will provide an possibility to include FST in such triggers. I don’t know how much effort on your side is needed to do the code optimization and I would strongly encourage you to do that.

Thanks and Best,
Zhenyu
