--Hall D Collimator and Beam Feedback Electronics-- The collimator provides 8 outputs that are dependent on current and position. The outputs have the following characteristics, listed below. Lead shielded local amplification is necessary within 1 m of the device in order to limit bandwidth truncation due to the extra input capacitance of the coaxial cable. Digital electronics are to be located elsewhere, in a VME crate mounted in an electronics rack in Hall D proper. The x,y position coordinates are computed from the 8 measured currents through an algorithm to be provided by the UConn group.
