So any of the collimator scenarios which have been presented are satisfactory from this point of view, and we don't have to worry about confusing stream boiling with new physics. Notes are attached. regards, Dave [ Part 2, "" Application/PDF 260KB. ] [ Unable to print this part. ] Dave's attachment: collimator_Z_sensitivity.pdf
