There are a number of issues in the use of the Argonne cosmic ray test stand to do quality control and calibration of the STAR EndCap Shower Max Detectors. The shower max detector is made up of 12 sectors of 30 degrees. Each sector has two planes of triangular scintillator strips. The strips in a plane are assembled with alternating direction of the triangles in order to use energy sharing for position measurement. The strips are 1 cm wide, 7 mm high, and range in length from a few cm to over a meter. There are currently two analyses being done on the cosmic ray data, one using the average pulse height from all tracks, and one using the method of adjacent vetos to localize the cosmics. This study is also relevant to physics analysis utilizing energy sharing between triangular strips, although no EM shower simulations were done here.
