 and performance before construction is critical. Tests are needed to ensure proper assembly, integration with electronics, noise studies, and benchmarking against simulations. Detectors also require exposure to high-energy, charged particles. But while cosmic
 rays are sometimes useful, their rates are low, their energies are unknown, and data collection can take weeks. By contrast, controlled particle fluxes provide precise energies and high rates, enabling fast calibration.<br>
<br>
Enter Hall D! Here, a flux of 3.5-6 GeV electrons and positrons at kilohertz rates provides an excellent setup for testing small sample detectors. The pair spectrometer area, originally built for GlueX luminosity measurements, also provides an ideal environment
