Abstract
The development and use of a water Cerenkov detector array as a
discriminating veto counter for an experiment involving the measurement of
the K-series kaonic hydrogen X-rays is discussed. The techniques devised for
manufacturing a number of identical detectors are presented, along with
specific details of both a prototype and the final array of sixteen units. Results
of efficiency tests performed on both designs are displayed.
