Aluminum Thickness Tests
No Photon Physics
Varying Aluminum beamstop thickness
Tantalum thickness of 0.0508cm
All electron physics turned on
No photon physics turned on
Chamber and Tracker matter is vacuum

Note: Volume 1 = Target, Volume 2 = Beamstop, Volume 3 = Tracker, Volume 4 = Chamber, Volume 5 = else
Conclusion
Without photon physics active and vacuum in the tracker and chamber, I cannot say whether electrons are making it though the target and beamstop.
