Abstract	The track finder receives trigger primitives from drift tubes in the barrel and from cathode strip chambers in the endcap muon system. It assembles those trigger primitives to tracks, assigns transverse momentum, direction and quality to tracks and transmits these data to the global muon trigger. We present the track finder algorithm, hardware implementation and the status of the FPGA prototype.
