A simple dynamic parallel railing system was devised to allow flexibility for the electron crossing angle. In the range of useful photon energies (3-12 GeV) the crossing angle (measured from the focal plane) is calculated to change from 8 to 60 degrees. The adjacent figure illustrates a set of "rails" kept apart by beams parallel to electron trajectory. As shown, this allows for properly positioned mounting sites for both ends of the fiber modules. | A simple dynamic parallel railing system was devised to allow flexibility for the electron crossing angle.
