[Solid_baffle] baffle material

[Richard S. Holmes]

There are some slides in this talk
https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/images/9/95/Baffles_5-15_rsholmes.pdf (two
slides from Zhiwen and three of mine), which also are summarized in my
baffle writeup at
https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/images/9/91/Baffles_writeup_2-2016.pdf. With
Cu the photon rate is about 15% higher than for Pb overall. The energy
dependence of this probably should be checked. With Pb lined Cu the photon
rate is about 8% higher, and if the last baffle is solid Pb it performs
about the same as Pb. Pb lined Cu has some of the advantages of solid Cu,
though it would be the same as far as machining the slits is concerned.

There were questions about the activation of Cu which I'm not sure we ever
got a good answer to.
