16 input + 4 output muons at 32 bit: 32 bits x (20 muons+1 bx count) x 3 bx = 2016 bits

Fields for input muons

type type of input muon: DT:00, brlRPC:01, CSC:10, fwdRPC:11 (*)
SE sync error flag from regional trigger
B2 bunch counter bit 2
B1 bunch counter bit 1
B0 bunch counter bit 0
VCH valid charge (1 if charge is valid)
CH charge: positiv:0, negative: 1
H/F halo bit for CSC ( 1 if halo), eta_is_fine bit for DT (1 if fine), not used for RPC
eta eta coordinate (specific scale)
qual quality code
pt eta coordinate (common scale) (empty muon has pt=0)
phi phi coordinate (0..143dec)

(*) in order to facilitate zero suppression

Fields for Output Muons

fwd Forward flag: 1 if GMT muon if from fwd part, 0 if it is from brl part
iRPC index of brlRPC (if barrel) or of fwdRPC (if fwd) input muon (needed by HLT)
iDT/CSC index of DT (if barrel) or of CSC (if fwd) input muon (needed by HLT)
SY/SGN Sync / sign of charge code: pos: 00, neg: 01, unkown: 10, sync : 11
MIP Minimum Ionizing Particle bit (1 if muon is MIP)
ISO Isolation bit (1 if muon is isolated)
eta eta coordinate (preudo sign in MSB)
qual quality code
pt eta coordinate (common scale) (empty muon has pt=0)
phi phi coordinate (0..143dec)

Debug Options

Zero Suppression Options

A possible form of zero suppression could be to skip empty muons
