Description
GlueX is the new experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab,
which main main goal is to search for mesons with exotic
quantum numbers using a beam of linearly polarized photons.
The main goal of the pair spectrometer is to determine the
photon beam flux and to measure beam polarization. The
spectrometer reconstructs the energy of a photon by
detecting the electron/positron pair produced by the
photon in a thin converter. The pair spectrometer was
successfully operated during the commissioning run in
spring 2016. We present the design of the pair spectrometer
and performance results.
