6.5 Dead time
We aim for a deadtime for muon triggers as low as 1%, assuming a trigger rate of 100 Hz. Actually, one might consider to lower certain thresholds of the hardware triggers, e.g. in order to cover low energy tracks. This might increase the trigger rate and finally lead to a slightly higher deadtime.
