The GlueX experiment will use a 9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam to search for mesons with gluonic excitations, and measure their spectrum and couplings. To create a well-collimated photon beam, the 12 GeV electron beam from CEBAF will pass through a 20um thick diamond wafer and undergo coherent bremsstrahlung. In order to know the energy of the photon the post-bremsstrahlung electron energy must be measured. A magnet is used to spatially separate the electrons corresponding to their energy which are incident on scintillating fibers. These fibers are located to provide 4 MeV energy resolution and propagate the signal to Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) counters that are mounted on custom high speed circuit boards. The scintillating fibers and electronics are housed in a light-sealed enclosure called the Tagger Microscope, which the research group at the University of Connecticut have designed to measure the post-bremsstrahlung electron energy, and therefore, the emitted photon energy.
