The tagger microscope (TAGM) consists of six major components: upper enclosure, lower enclosure, optical fibers, electronics, shielding, and darkening shroud. As seen from the CAD image above, Figure 1, the lower enclosure houses the microscope's electronics, while the upper enclosure contains the optical fiber bundle supports (a.k.a. popsicle sticks). The bundle supports are used to align the scintillating fiber (SciFi) longitudinal axis to the incoming electron's path angle as it passes through the tagger magnet's focal plane. The designed angular tolerance, e.g. fiber to beam angular error, is 0.5 degree. MC simulations were performed to show the effect of various amounts of misalignment between the electron angle and the SciFi axis. Figure 4 shows a plot of one of the simulations with the solid line showing the scintillation response of the central fiber, while the dashed lines are the response for the adjacent fibers.

The bundle supports are used to align the scintillating fiber (SciFi) longitudinal axis to the incoming electron's path angle as it passes through the tagger magnet's focal plane. The designed angular tolerance, e.g. fiber to electron allowable angular error, is < 0.5<sup>o</sup>. MC simulations were performed to test the effect of various amounts of misalignment between the electron angle and the SciFi axis. Figure 4 shows a plot of one of these simulations with the solid line showing the scintillation response of the central fiber, while the dashed lines are the response for the adjacent fibers.
