The following hardware was built in preparation for the May, 2011 CHESS run.

The '''Tagger Microscope''' is a movable, high-resolution [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodoscope hodoscope] that counts post-bremsstrahlung electrons corresponding to the photon energy band of interest to the [http://www.gluex.org/ GlueX] experiment in [http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/ Hall D] in [http://www.jlab.org Jefferson Lab]. While designed as a general-use device, it has been optimized primarily for use in the GlueX experiment, covering the E<sub>γ</sub> range of 8.4 - 9 GeV (E<sub>e</sub> 3 - 3.6 GeV).
The GlueX experiment requires the use of a diamond radiator to produce a photon beam. UCONN has recently acquired several diamond samples from [http://www.sinmat.com/ Sinmat] and [http://www.e6.com/en/ Element 6] to perform a qualifying test in order to see if any of these diamonds will meet our stringent requirements.
In May of 2011 the diamonds are being brought to Cornell University for testing at [http://www.chess.cornell.edu/ CHESS]. This page shows the equipment which will be used to mount the diamonds for this testing.
