Abstract
In experiment PAX, proposed for the new accelerator complex at GSI, investigations in the field of high-energy spin physics with the use of a polarized antiproton beam are planned. In this paper the possibilities for triggering are considered taking into account the PAX detector properties and a probable configuration of the trigger system is discussed for the first time.
