Description
The New Small Wheel (NSW) is a major upgrade to the muon spectrometer of
the ATLAS experiment, which will be installed in 2019-2020. The NSW will
comprise both sTGC and Micromegas detectors. One of the major goals on the
upgrade is fast, precise muon reconstruction in hardware to allow
triggering on single muon events in high pileup environments. This talk
presents the status of the NSW trigger and integration into the NSW
electronics readout path, with emphasis on the test stand at Harvard
taking cosmic ray muon data with an octuplet of prototype Micromegas
chambers.
