Scientific paper

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is a new system of large atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for GeV/TeV γ-ray astronomy. This paper describes the array level trigger system of H.E.S.S. The system trigger requires the simultaneous detection of air-showers by several telescopes at the hardware level. This requirement allows a suppression of background events which in turn leads to a lower system energy threshold for the detection of gamma-rays.
