  • Since April 2019, the data taking phase of the completed Belle II detector at SuperKEKB has started. The high beam currents and the nanobeam scheme of SuperKEKB demand an efficient first level trigger system to reject the dominant background from outside of the interaction region before being filtered further by accurate, but more time-consuming software algorithms. The Neural z vertex trigger, implemented in hardware, uses a three layer MLP neural network to estimate the z vertices of the tracks in an event within the latency of the first trigger level. It is the first of its kind and allow relaxing the track trigger conditions for interesting physics events with low track multiplicity. After the concept was sucessfully tested in software simulations, it was deployed in the trigger system of the detector before the winter shutdown in 2019. We will give an insight into extensive efficiency studies of our trigger subsystem and our efforts of optimizing the performance resulting in an increased trigger efficiency of low multiplicity events.
