I used the Qweak.bash and Qweak.euclid file from Juliette (I think Juiette got the bash file from Jim and euclid file from Neven). I also used Richard Jones's internal bremssatrahlung correction. 100k events are simulated with 3 < theta < 16 degree and -15.5 < phi < 15.5 degree. The minitorus is turned off in the simulation. As shown in the plots, significat amount of secondary photons are generated at upstream face of the upstream half of the Neven's collimator, as well as the upper edge of both the upstream and downstream parts of the Neven's collimator. As a comparison, I also attached Jim's "May2003Talk.pdf" here, which I think it is for standard 8-8-22 Boston collimator. The photon rate hitting the Cerenkov bar at Z=530 cm (cuts: 302 < x < 318 cm, -105 < y < +105 cm) is 0.0196 MHz, and the mean Q^2 of the photons hitting the bar is 0.01351 GeV^2. No "hot spot" of photon is seen on the bar.
