Abstract
The design, construction, and performance of a 198-element CsI detecto r built for Brookhaven experiment E852 is described. Design considerat ions for the array included such factors as rate, magnetic field, sens itivity and acceptance. Signals were obtained with a photodiode/preamp lifier combination using PIN photodiodes. Data were taken over the cou rse of two runs during the summers of 1993 and 1994. A calibration pro cedure using halo muons is described. The gain, energy resolution, and position resolution of the detector are discussed. Finally, the abili ty of the detector to be used as a low energy photon veto is illustrat ed using the data.
