The high-P-T trigger provides valuable extension for the physics capabiliti
es of HERA-B fixed target experiment. Trigger performs fast and effective s
election of various B meson decay modes important for CP violation and B-s
mixing rate measurements. HERA-B high-P-T trigger is built up of three laye
rs of gas detectors placed inside the magnet area. Tests with full-scale de
tector modules have been done in real conditions. The installation of trigg
er components in the HERA-B detector is nearly completed. (C) 2000 Elsevier
