Abstract
The Beauty Contiguity Trigger (BCT) in the fixed-target experiment WA92/BEATRICE at CERN is described. It is composed of 11 FASTBUS modules and is based on a custom-designed application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip. An overview of both the trigger algorithm and the processor architecture is given. Preliminary results on its operation during data collection in the 1992 run of WA92 are also presented
