Scientific paper

The PAMELA telescope will be installed on-board the Resurs-DK satellite and launched at the beginning of 2004. The satellite will fly for at least 3 years in a quasi-p olar orbit. A second level trigger has been designed to reduce the amount of data and dead time due to false triggers produced by particles outside the PAMELA acceptance interacting with the payload structure. These events will be rejected using the information from the anticoincidence system (AC) that surrounds the PAMELA spectrometer. The AC information will be combined with that from the calorimeter allowing events showering in the calorimeter and produces a signal in the AC due to backscattered particles to be retained. The design of the second level trigger and its performance from simulations and test beam data is presented.
