[Halld-tagger] Tungsten tube in primary collimator

[Curtis A. Meyer]

I think it comes of a diamater, not the length. That leaves a small “crack” along the top??

The answers are given in a quick tech note that I link below. I am not done writing it yet, so if there are plots or results that you would like to see added please let me know. The bottom line is that steel will work just fine, and it only needs to be 15 cm long. The inner aperture diameter should be 1.1 mm. In response to Tim's question, tungsten would be better of course, but steel seems to work just fine and might be easier to work with.
