A9.5 Appendix:  Listing of Coordinate Labels and Plane Coefficients

When modeling the geometry for the deflection system, both the telescope and detector area were broken down into plane polygons.  Figure A9-18 shows the coordinate labels assigned to each of the vertices of all the polygons.  Figure A9-19 shows the designated plane number for each of the planes in the geometry.  Note that the open aperture is plane number 40.

The coordinates for each of the planes are listed in units of inches following Figure A9-19.

The equation of any plane can be represented by the equation

Ax + By + Cz + D = 0

Listed at the end of this section are the coefficients for all the planes shown in Figure A9-19.  Files for both of these listings must be created in order for the main trajectory and magnetic field programs to work.
