The following is a concise outline of the logistics pertaining to the Hall D Tagger Microscope prototype beam test in Hall B.


Time

Prototype ready for installation during the Feb 25 - Mar 28th Hall B shutdown. One task to be carried out before installation and alignment is the location of the analyzed electron beam plane. Time needed is outlined for the several approaches to this.

Pre-installation time required:

  • Burn paper approach: 1 hour during Hall B access before shutdown
  • Translation table with counter (Hovannes):
    • none? will the prototype box be mounted on' the translation table during installation?
  • few hours during access before shutdown? will they permit equipment there during high current running going on now?
  • Dead reckoning: position determined from survey - not preliminary time required.

Installation time required:

  • time in counting house to test Hall B-loaned control PC with prototype: 2-3 hours
  • time in the Hall: 3-6 hours

Equipment

  • prototype chamber with control and amplifier electronics: UConn
  • prototype control PC (SiPM/Amp settings, alignment control): loaned by Hall B
