  1. Design and Build of Calibration Device for Scintillating Fibers of Tagger Microscope for use in GlueX’s Quantum Chromodynamics Experiment Probing the Confinement of Quarks and Gluons By Emily Briere

  2. Background Physics Quarks QED Hadrons

  3. GlueX Create a virtual vector meson via photoproduction Hall D, Jefferson Lab, VA

  4. Tagger Microscope The two magnets bend the electrons. Different energy levels correspond to different bend angles. Use this to “tag” photons with an initial energy. • 1 Fiber = 2mm2

  5. Calibration Device Need a calibration device to test fibers before experiment! Cart slides above tagger and extends an “arm” down to flash a light pulse at the fibers

  6. Electronics Mechanical movement controlled via LabVIEW

  7. Method for Distributing Light

  8. Why it Matters For GlueX: • Experimental Accuracy • Checking mechanism For the World: • Understand a new part of physics • Technological advances • Energy advancements • Space travel • A new tool for comprehending the world around us
