To cope with a fourfold increase of peak LHC luminosity from 2015 to 2018 (Run 2), to 2.1 x 10(34) cm(-2) s(-1), and a similar increase in the number of interactions per beam-crossing to about 60, trigger algorithms and selections were optimised to control the rates while retaining a high efficiency for physics analyses. For proton-proton collisions, the single-electron trigger efficiency relative to a single-electron offline selection is at least 75{\%} for an offline electron of 31 GeV, and rises to 96{\%} at 60 GeV; the trigger efficiency of a 25GeVleg of the primary diphoton trigger relative to a tight offline photon selection is more than 96{\%} for an offline photon of 30 GeV. For heavy-ion collisions, the primary electron and photon trigger efficiencies relative to the corresponding standard offline selections are at least 84{\%} and 95{\%}, respectively, at 5 GeV above the corresponding trigger threshold.", optnote="WOS:000519817900001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4331), last updated on Wed, 01 Apr 2020 14:17:26 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7500-2", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.00761", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7500-2", language="English" }
