The Advanced Cosmic-ray Composition Experiment for the Space Station (currently under study) will include a thin calorimeter to measure the energy of cosmic ray nuclei from H to Fe. The calorimeter will provide the only energy measurement for H and He nuclei, crucial for two high priority objectives, searching for the existence of a `knee' in the proton spectrum and studying the energy dependence of the H to He ratio. Particles scattered backward from hadronic interactions in the calorimeter will impact the performance of detectors above the calorimeter. The energy reach required by the physics goals requires a flexible, scalable trigger system to discard out-of-geometry and low-energy events. In this paper we provide a guide to some design considerations arising from the effects of back-scatter and the expected event rates.
