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 ???, 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) long axis to incoming electron's path angle (at the tagger magnet's focal plane.   end of the optical fibers are affixed bundle supports  in the upper enclosure, and the light guide potion of the fiber extends down to the silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) located on preamplifier boards in the lower enclosure.

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.
