We describe the implementation of trigger algorithm specifically tailored on
the characteristics of the neutrino telescope NEMO. Extensive testing against
realistic simulations shows that, by making use of the uncorrelated nature of
the noise produced mainly by the decay of K-40 beta-decay, this trigger is
capable to discriminate among different types of muonic events.Comment: Published in the Proceedings of the "I Workshop of Astronomy and
