Join the ATLAS Trigger team at CERN and play a key role in optimising the New Small Wheel (NSW) trigger, a critical component of the Level-1 Muon Endcap Trigger. The NSW trigger processes signals from sTGC and Micromegas (MM) detectors, delivering muon candidate decisions every 25 ns with sub-microsecond latency. The NSW trigger has been successfully deployed during the current Run3 data taking of LHC . This role focuses on improving trigger efficiency, robustness, and preparing for the ATLAS Run 4 upgrade.
