Dear Toshiyuki, Thanks for your comments: With regards to the upstream energy spectrometer: The requirements to have this system I think are well understood and nobody, as far as I am aware, is suggesting that we remove it. For the energy collimator design with shorter length: the energy collimator also contains 6 quadrupole magnets, here I chose to keep the (shortened) bend magnets at their existing design fields and use the quadrupoles to keep the central design dispersion in addition to matching the beta functions.

Before we would implement this change (which hopefully we wonąt need to), we would obviously have to consider this point in light of a requirements document for the collimation system, which we would hopefully have had time to write by then. > > Cheers, > > - Glen. > > > ######################################################################## > Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list > > To unsubscribe from the ILC-BDS list, click the following link: > https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ILC-BDS&A=1 > ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the ILC-BDS list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ILC-BDS&A=1
