Bandwidth reduction for data taking after current/September MD

Thanks to @rjhunter for running some BW tests on mu=5.3 data. Unfortunately, we are about 1.8 GB/s over budget for the Turbo stream, so we need some reductions.

Rapid response is required since we plan start data taking at high mu around 1st October

However, applying slightly tighter pT/PID etc... cuts should be quite a safe and well understood change that can be done very quickly.

Here is are the top contributors to the Turbo BW:

Actions

  • QEE WG Further prescale the QEE muon shower line
  • Charm WG Try to tighten some cuts in the highest rate Turbo lines (see table below)
  • B&Q WG Tighten the *EDM* lines
  • RD WG Tighten Hlt2RD_BToHH_Incl ( !3859 (merged))
  • BnoC Tighten Hlt2BnoC_Lb0ToPpPipPimPim_NoPID
  • BnoC Remove Hlt2BnoC_BdToPipPim_NoPID from Turbo ( !3866 (merged))
  • IFT Tighten Hlt2IFTTurbo_Femtoscopy_LcP

  • Thanks 👏 all for the fast response.
  • Particular thanks to @rjhunter @tevans for running all BW the tests and HLT1 tunings, and of course @cagapopo for the pushing the release over the line.
  • some reductions on spruce/full lines may still be required by DPA
