SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the concept of prescaled triggers in event sampling, particularly in the context of managing data rates for low-energetic events. Prescaled triggers allow for the selective evaluation of triggers, where only a fraction of events (1 out of x) are stored, effectively reducing the overall trigger rate. This method is crucial for optimizing data collection while ensuring that significant low-energy events are still captured. The need for clear documentation of trigger publications in experiments is emphasized to enhance understanding and reproducibility.
