MicroBooNE探测器利用一个活性质量为85t的液态Ar时间投影室(LArTPC)来研究费米实验室助推中微子束(BNB)上的中微子相互作用。由于部署位置靠近地面，探测器在每个与束流相关的探测器触发器中记录了许多宇宙µ子轨迹，这些轨迹可能被错误地识别为感兴趣的信号。为了减少这些宇宙背景，我们设计并建造了一个TPC-外部宇宙线标记器(CRT)。这个子系统是由伯尔尼大学阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦基础物理中心高能物理实验室开发的。该系统利用塑料闪烁模块为TPC穿越粒子提供精确的时间和位置信息。TPC径迹和CRT数据的成功匹配将使我们能够减少宇宙背景，并更好地表征光收集系统和使用宇宙介子的LArTPC数据。在本文中，我们描述了MicroBooNE CRT系统的设计和安装，并概述了在安装、调试和物理数据获取过程中为验证系统及其组件的正确操作而进行的一系列测试。
The MicroBooNE detector utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) with an 85 t active mass to study neutrino interactions along the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. With a deployment location near ground level, the detector records many cosmic muon tracks in each beam-related detector trigger that can be misidentified as signals of interest. To reduce these cosmogenic backgrounds, we have designed and constructed a TPC-external Cosmic Ray Tagger (CRT) . This sub-system was developed by the Laboratory for High Energy Physics (LHEP), Albert Einstein center for fundamental physics, University of Bern. The system utilizes plastic scintillation modules to provide precise time and position information for TPC-traversing particles. Successful matching of TPC tracks and CRT data will allow us to reduce cosmogenic background and better characterize the light collection system and LArTPC data using cosmic muons. In this paper we describe the design and installation of the MicroBooNE CRT system and provide an overview of a series of tests done to verify the proper operation of the system and its components during installation, commissioning, and physics data-taking.
