This thesis presents the design qualification and construction of the Beam
Scintillator Counter (BSC) for the CMS Collaboration at CERN in 2007
- 2008. The BSC detector is designed to aid in the commissioning of the
Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) during the first 2 years of operation and
provide technical triggering for beam halo and minimum-bias events. Using
plastic scintillator tiles mounted at both ends of CMS, it will detect minimum
ionizing particles through the low-to-mid luminosity phases of the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) commissioning. During these early phases, the BSC
will provide probably the most interesting and widely used data of any of
the CMS sub-detectors and will be employed in the track based alignment
procedure of the central tracker and commissioning of the Forward Hadron
Calorimeter.
