Abstract
We describe a scheme for a fast trigger based on muon detection to be implemented in a fixed target high energy experiment aiming to measure CP violation in B-decays. Muons are tracked in resistive plate counte rs and their momenta are measured by a trigger system based on a passi ve resistive network. The goal is to build a very fast, selective and efficient first level trigger for high p(T) muons coming from B-decays , ensuring at the same time a substantial (greater-than-or-equal-to 10 0) reduction factor against muons coming from the decays of particles produced in minimum bias interactions.
