Now we know the focal plane crossing locations for the first and sixth SciFi columns in our first bundle. Additionally, we know the β angle of the first bundle (noted as β<sub>avg</sub> above), which gives us the optimal alignment for each fiber in the bundle to their respective electron's path. The β angles for the first and sixth columns will be off by the same magnitude, but with opposite signs.

The 5x6 fiber bundle supports were designed with two 5x3 bundle halves offset such that the center of the front face of the middle column in each bundle half would sit on the magnetic focal plane for a β angle of 12.0<sup>o</sup>. This angle was selected as a compromise that would allow coverage through the photon energy range of 10 - 5.6 GeV. <i><u>As a side note</u> - If required and finances permit, the 17 bundle supports can be easily redesigned for a different β angle. This redesign would take less than an hour of CAD work, with a manufacturing turn-around time in as little as two days. Costs are estimated to be around $2k. A CAD drawing of a new bundle support design already exists, which incorporates updated locations of the threaded holes for mounting the clamps that keep the bundle straps in place. The best time to replace/modify the bundle supports, if so desired, would be during fiber replacement. This way the new fibers can be mounted to the new bundle support outside the tagger hall, before ever making it to JLab. A conservative time estimate for changing the TAGM fiber configuration would be approximately two days (16 hours).</i>

As shown in Figure ??? by the red and green lines, if β ≠ 12<sup>o</sup> then the front face of the first column of SciFi no longer sits on the focal plane. This offset must be accounted for. The Excel spreadsheet starts by finding the optimal first bundle support crossing angle (β<sub>avg</sub>) and places the front center of the first column of SciFi on the X<sub>FP</sub> location corresponding to E<sub>γ<sub>o</sub></sub>. Depending on β's departure from 12<sup>o</sup> the pivot point will be displaced from the focal plane. The spreadsheet calculates the (Δx, Δy) needed to return the pivot point to the focal plane and keep the first fiber column's longitudinal axis on the E<sub>γ<sub>o</sub></sub> electron's path. The spreadsheet's title for this is "Pivot Point Move" and the description is detailed below.

<i><u>NOTE:</u> &beta<sub>avg</sub> is used to determine this displacement. While the E<sub>γ<sub>o</sub></sub> electron's β angle differs slightly &beta<sub>avg</sub> and would keep the column's centerline on the proper electron path, this discrepancy is so small that it does not come close to the TAGM machining parts' tolerance. Additionally, the sixth column's β angle has the same magnitude difference from the bundle support's β, but with a different sign. For these reasons β<sub>avg</sub> was used.</i>
