โฆ Synopsis
The Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment (LHCb) is a dedicated B physics experiment at the LHC. The trigger system is of crucial importance to discriminate the interesting B meson decays against the dominant background from inelastic pp-scattering. In this note, an overview of the LHCb trigger system will be given. We put a special emphasis on the software trigger level.

## For the LHCb Collaboration LHCb will study CP violation and other rare phenomena in B-decays with a forward spectrometer at the LHC. The LHCb trigger has to efficiently select a few Hz of interesting B-decays from a non-elastic pp interaction cross-section of 80 mb, which corresponds to 16 MHz
