I believe Jim's table out to 12-8-24 don't have overlapping images. However, there is absolutely no physics or beam systematic reason to require the images not to overlap. The signals are added in software anyway. The detector PMT's are out of the view of the scattered beam and behind the shielding - again see my previous sketch and email. The frames on the sides of the chambers do not need to be behind shielding during the callibration runs if thaey are actively shielded by scintillators. HDC will accept wide angles, but I am not proposing you build them. Also, If there are 16 independent bars (1 PMT + mirrored end) then a chamber need only cover one (narrow) bar at a time during calibration. The idea was that we design a "universal acceptance" detector system. The scheme I suggested would result in narrower bars and allow pretty much any collimator concept to be used. We coulds have several collimator built. The calibration system needs to be designed around an experiment optimized for production running not the other way around. I need to make a better drawing to circulate. Best Regards Roger
