DØ
Run II Cosmic Ray Commissioning Beam Counter (Week
of 1/10/2000)
Herman
Haggerty with the short (1.2m x 4.1cm x 4.1cm)
beam counter for DØ Run II cosmic ray Commissioning.
This counter will be eventually replaced with a longer (2.5m
x 4.1cm x 4.1cm) counter.

Haggerty installing the HV for a beam counter PMT inside the solenoid.
We are
using
Run II m
HV control System
for these two PMT's and Muon scintillation counters!!
Beam
counter is INSTALLED on Jan. 12, 2000,
in its position, in the middle of the detector. Coincidence
of the two end PMT signals is formed to reduce random noise trigger.
This coincidence forms another conicidence with TOP cosmic cap to contrain
cosmic ray to the beam line.

By design
of the stand, the counter cannot go any where else than at the center on
r-f plane.
