Since the beginnings of civilisation, mankind has sought to decipher the basic building blocks of matter and the forces that bind them together. This lecture will explain how the modern view of elementary particle physics has been reached and how it is currently being revolutionised by the work going on at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

In this lecture reasons for having a trigger in a high-energy physics experimentwill be discussed . The idea of dead time is introduced and its effect explained. The importance of buffering in derandomizing events is explained. Simple examples from fixed target and collider experiments are given.
