During the LHC Run 2 (2015-2018), the ATLAS trigger system operated successfully with excellent performance and flexibility by adapting to the various run conditions encountered and has been vital for the ATLAS Run-2 physics programme For proton-proton running, approximately 1500 individual event selections were included in a trigger menu which specified the physics signatures and selection algorithms used for the data-taking, and the allocated event rate and bandwidth. The trigger menu must reflect the physics goals for a given data collection period, taking into account the instantaneous luminosity of the LHC and limitations from the ATLAS detector readout, online processing farm, and offline storage. This document discusses the operation of the ATLAS trigger system during the nominal proton-proton data collection in Run 2 with examples of special data-taking runs. Aspects of software validation, evolution of the trigger selection algorithms during Run 2, monitoring of the trigger system and data quality as well as trigger configuration are presented.", optnote="WOS:000577278000004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4569), last updated on Thu, 29 Oct 2020 13:22:09 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/15/10/P10004", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.12539", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/10/P10004", language="English" }
