Description
A demonstrator for separating events with a heavy flavor decay from background events in proton-proton collisions with the sPHENIX detector is presented. Due to data volume limitations, sPHENIX is capable of recording 10% of the minimum-bias collisions at RHIC using streaming readout in addition to its 15 kHz hardware trigger of rare events. This demonstrator will use machine-learning algorithms on FPGAs to sample the remaining 90% of the collisions.
