Helmut STEININGER HEPHY engineer For outstanding contributions to the firmware development of the past and the new pixel detector FED.

L1 Trigger

Thomas GORSKI Wisconsin engineer For crucial contributions to the upgraded trigger algorithms on the evolutionary path to the full calorimeter trigger upgrade.
Alessandro THEA RAL   For the long-standing and fundamentally important contribution to both the Phase-1 upgrade and subsequent operations of the Level-1 trigger system.

HCAL

Vladmir EPSHTEYN Moscow-ITEP engineer For his critical work on analyzing and interpreting the radiation damage of the HCAL scintillators and WLS fibers.
Kevin PEDRO FNAL postdoc For outstanding contributions to the development of the offline software for the phase 1 hardware upgrade for HF and HE and for the development of the simulation and studies of the Radiation damage to the HE scintillator.

Muon

Flavio LODDO BARI engineer For the crucial contribution to the design and finalization of the VFAT3 front-end electronics of the GE1/1 project.
Simranjit Singh CHHIBRA Bologna   In recognition of his crucial contributions on developing, testing, and implementing the Alignment Position Errors (APE) in muon track reconstruction contributing to the success of the muon reconstruction, especially at high muon momenta.

DAQ
