Abstract

In high energy physics experiments, the electronics located near theinteraction region are prone to soft errors as a result of radiation comingfrom the collisions. Depending on the type of error, the scope of itsimpact on data collection can range from being hardly noticeable to beingcompletely debilitating. In this paper, we define the mechanism used by theCompact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment to pause the data collection machinein order to allow subsystems to recover from soft errors. An attractivefeature of this mechanism is that it is general enough to facilitate therecovery from any well-defined error, not only those caused by radiation. Weshow the effectiveness of this method to maximize the data collectionefficiency of CMS.
