Prior to a beam commissioning run, the detector system will be calibrated in the Tunnel using a Na-22 and Co-60 source.  The annihilation counter will also be tested during initial tuning with an electron beam. Once a positron beam is established the annihilation counter background will be measured using a series of target in/out rate measurements and additional shielding will be added in the form of Pb blankets wrapped around the detector if necessary.  The first measurements using positrons will be done requiring a coincidence between the two NaI detector in order to optimize the signal to noise ratio for detecting the back-to-back 511 keV photons from positron annihilation.  The same coincidence measurements will be repeated using an electron beam after the measurements with a positron beam.
