Description
The BESIII experiment based at the BEPCII $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider (Beijing, China) is investigating physics in the charm-$\tau$ region.
Processes in which the particles emission peaks towards small polar angles,
such as Initial State Radiations (ISR) from $e^{+}e^{-}$ annhiliations, are currently detected with limited efficiency.
In order to improve their detections, we propose two small taggers placed at the very forward/backward angles.
Each detector is composed of two arrays of 4x3 rectangular-shaped scintillating LYSO crystals, separated by a gap.
The scintillation light will be collected by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and the signals will be digitized using sampling Analog-to-Digital Converters (sADC).
In this contribution, we present the results from the tests of a single LYSO crystal and the read-out electronics using radioactive sources.
Studies of the final setup, using Geant4 based simulation of BESIII and the cZDDs, are also shown.
