Abstract
We present the design of the first level muon trigger in the central t oroid of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A tr igger is foreseen based on fast, finely segmented gaseous detectors, R esistive Plate Chambers (RPC), to unambiguously identify the interacti on bunch crossing. We describe the detectors and the logic scheme of t he trigger.
