Abstract :
This paper describes the TOTEM Trigger System that is in function at the LHC since 2009. The TOTEM experiment is devoted to the forward hardronic physics at collision energy from 2.7 TeV to 14 TeV. It is composed of three different sub detectors that are placed at 9, 13.5, and 220 m from an interaction point. A fast electronic system is needed to review collisions and to select the relevant ones to be stored by the Data Acquisition (DAQ). This electronics is called the Trigger system of the TOTEM experiment. The TOTEM has a large collaboration. This is reflected in the paper. The first part contains a brief introduction to the entire project. The second part describes the work on the Trigger system.
