Assumed Geometry
Assume a 2 mm thick Tungsten target that is 1" square
The target is located at -80 < Z < -80.2
The NaI crystal is 2.32" or 56.49 mm in diameter
The NaI crystal is 8" from the target then the opening angle is atan(2.32/8/2) = 8.25 degrees
Solid Angle
Chromox target
Chromox target is 0.011" thick = 0.279 mm
