==Bundle Support (a.k.a. Popsicle Stick)==
 
The Tagger Microscope (TAGM) contains 17 optical fiber bundle, each consists of a 5x6 array of 30 fibers for a total of 510 fibers (5 rows, 102 columns). Figure 2 below shows the fiber array as viewed by the electrons passing through the tagger magnet focal plane. Each optical fiber consists of a 2 mm<sup>2</sup> x 2 cm BCF-20 scintillating fiber (SciFi) thermally fused to 2 mm<sup>2</sup> x 165 cm BCF-98 light guide, see Figures 3 & 4. The SciFi end of each fiber is thermally bent into an "S" shape to remove the fiber from the electrons' path soon after passing through the SciFi, see Figure 5. The fiber begins its bend out of the electrons' path after only 4.5 cm. This length provides enough material past the fused joint to minimize strain on the joint resulting from the bend and fiber mounting straps, while also reducing the material in the line-of-fire that could result in backscatter.

Placing the "Pivot Point" on the focal plane and only allowing +0.5 cm towards the tagger magnet the maximum crossing angle for the current bundle support design is &beta;<sub>max</sub> = 19.51<sup>o</sup>, while the minimum angle is &beta;<sub>min</sub> = 4.05<sup>o</sup>. This does not account for the most forward bundle mounting strap clamp and bolts, but they are lower in Z<sub>FP</sub> than the fibers and should not extend significantly past the 0.5 cm limit even at lower &beta; angles.

Once the &beta; angle for the first (upstream) bundle support is set, derived from the the starting photon tag energy, each subsequent bundle support has a &beta; angle offset from the previous one by a tow angle. Thus, as we look downstream from one bundle support to the next, the &beta; angles differ by -(tow angle). Adjacent bundle supports will come in contact with one another at the SciFi end and form a triangular gap along their adjacent sides based on the tow angle.

An Excel [/nfs/direct/annex/mcintyre/TAGM-4-2021/Bundle-Support-4-2021.xlsx spreadsheet] has been created to calculate the location of the bundle supports' mounting rods with respect to the focal plane coordinate system. This spreadsheet also calculates the length of the parallel railing end supports which need to be fabricated anew for each unique TAGM location on the focal plane. One last, but very important thing that the spreadsheet calculates is the shim size needed during TAGM realignment in order to achieve the proper tow angle between bundle supports during mounting. In addition to the spreadsheet, AutoCAD drawings corresponding to a tagging energy spectrum starting at: [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 11 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 10 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 9 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 8 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 7 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 6.5 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 6 GeV], [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 5.5 GeV], and [https://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Student_Projects_in_Nuclear_Physics 5 GeV] have been created.

==TAGM Move Parameters for various E<sub>&gamma;</sub> Starting Points==

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 &beta; 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 &beta; 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>

Each bundle has a "pivot point" that when placed on the focal plane, provides the optimal y-displacement from the focal plane for each fiber column in that bundle without encroaching too close to the tagger magnet window. If the bundle &beta; angle &ne; 12<sup>o</sup>, then the 1<sup><u>st</u></sup> & 6<sup><u>th</u></sup>, 2<sup><u>nd</u></sup> & 5<sup><u>th</u></sup>, and 3<sup><u>rd</u></sup> & 4<sup><u>th</u></sup> fiber column pairs will have the same magnitude offset as one another from the focal plane in Y, but with opposite signs, see Figure 17. This is all provided that when the bundle support is mounted on the parallel railing system the tagger magnet's focal plane passes through the midpoint between the front and rear bundle halves (the so called pivot point).

As shown in Figure 18 by the red and green lines, if &beta; &ne; 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 (&beta;<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>&gamma;<sub>o</sub></sub>. Depending on &beta;'s departure from 12<sup>o</sup> the pivot point will be displaced from the focal plane. The spreadsheet calculates the (&Delta;x, &Delta;y) needed to return the pivot point to the focal plane and keep the first fiber column's longitudinal axis on the E<sub>&gamma;<sub>o</sub></sub> electron's path. The spreadsheet's title for this is "Pivot Point Move" and the description is detailed below.

Additionally, the sixth column's &beta; angle has the same magnitude difference from the bundle support's &beta;, but with a different sign. For these reasons &beta;<sub>avg</sub> was used.</i>

===<u>Popsicle Stick Limitations</u>===

Placing the "Pivot Point" on the focal plane and only allowing +0.5 cm towards the tagger magnet the maximum crossing angle for the current bundle support design is &beta;<sub>max</sub> = 19.51<sup>o</sup>, while the minimum angle is &beta;<sub>min</sub> = 4.05<sup>o</sup>. This does not account for the most forward bundle mounting strap clamp and bolts, but they are lower in Z<sub>FP</sub> than the fibers and should not extend significantly past the 0.5 cm limit even at lower &beta; angles.
