Aerogel and water etherenkov detectors were employed to tag kaons for a A hypemuclear spectroscopic experiment which used the (e'K+) reaction in experimental Hall C at Jefferson Lab (JLab E05-115). Fringe fields from the kaon spectrometer magnet yielded similar to 5 gauss at the photomultiplier tubes for these detectors. These fields, which could not be easily passively shielded, would result in a lowered kaon detection efficiency if not mitigated. A bucking coil was placed on each photomultiplier tube to actively cancel this magnetic field, thus recovering kaon detection efficiency. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
