The University of Connecticut nuclear physics group has produced a design for an active collimator to be used in the GlueX polarized photon beam line in Hall D. A prototype of this detector has been built with four of the eight sectors installed. Amplifier electronics sufficient for the readout of two sectors have been purchased and tested with the prototype on the bench using the Labview data acquisition system. Results from these tests are analyzed to determine the sensitivity and bandwidth limits of the detector. These results are compared with the requirements for the Hall D photon beam. Recommendations are also made as to future work on this project.
