The Trigger System of the ARGO-YBJ detector
The ARGO-YBJ experiment has been designed to detect air shower events over a
large size scale and with an energy threshold of a few hundreds GeV. The
building blocks of the ARGO-YBJ detector are single-gap Resistive Plate
Counters (RPCs). The trigger logic selects the events on the basis of their hit
multiplicity. Inclusive triggers as well as dedicated triggers for specific
physics channels or calibration purposes have been developed. This paper
describes the architecture and the main features of the trigger system.Comment: 4 pages, to be published in the Proceedings of the 28th International
