  25. Summary++ Based on the current Monte Carlo simulations: We do not need to increase the Pb-shielding diameter; The background on HyCal is significantly less for the smaller diameter Pb-shielding; 0.8” diameter is the smallest we can have. It can be done by inserting a ~10 r.l. ring inside of the existing beam pipe (Dave Kashy); “Tapered” main Collimator is another factor of 2 more effective D. Kashy’s suggested version #3 is the best for the PrimEx-II beam line It will potentially reduce the background on HyCal by factor of 5 Interactive Geant shows that +32 cm down for PS is not critical for the 0 run. Detail simulations for this part will be provided in next few days. PrimEx-II Beam Line, August 5, 2010
