The Liquid Argon Jet Trigger of the H1 Experiment at HERA

The Liquid Argon Jet Trigger, installed in the H1 experiment at HERA, implements in 800 ns a real-time cluster algorithm by finding local energy maxima, summing their immediate neighbors, sorting the resulting "jets" by energy, and applying topological conditions. It operated since the year 2006 and drastically reduced the thresholds for triggering on electrons and jets.
