Abstract :
The PeakSum Processing System (PSS) is an element of the neutral trigger of the NA48 experiment at CERN. The PSS is a pipelined processor based on a semi-custom device. It provides information on the energy pattern released. In the electromagnetic calorimeter of the experiment, used to discriminate KS and KL events
