The output data rate at fixed threshold typically increases exponentially with the number of pile-up collisions, so the legacy algorithms from previous LHC data-taking periods had to be tuned and new approaches developed to maintain the high trigger efficiency achieved in earlier operations. A study of the trigger performance and comparisons with simulations show that these changes resulted in event selection efficiencies of > 98% for this period, meeting and in some cases exceeding the performance of similar triggers in earlier run periods, while at the same time keeping the necessary bandwidth within acceptable limits.

Introduction
The trigger system [1] of the ATLAS experiment [2] is responsible for deciding which proton-proton (pp) bunch-crossing events are kept for later analysis. Storage and processing requirements limit the fraction of events that can be retained to the order of 10 −5 , with the rest being discarded and hence unavailable for further physics analysis.

Particles that interact via neither the strong nor the electromagnetic force, and that escape the experiment without decaying, leave no visible signature. Efficient trigger selection of events that contain such invisible particles is
