Dear Tom:
Enclosed are several drawings of the LEMPA detector which I collected to try to understand the entrance aperture of the β detector. Because of the way the detector assembly was built, the aperture ended up being very complicated in geometry.
I hope these drawings are useful. If there are any questions, give me a call.
Sincerely,
Ed Keath
