Buried Cones -- New 15° half angle C Cu Al As deep as we can image. 200 um? Targets: Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) start w/ solid uniform Al foil, EDM cone holes, glue C get lost 2009 targets varied depths 2010 targets const. depths Surrounding Al eliminates interface fields Carbon provides get lost layer

Conclusions Alignment very difficult Lots of scatter due to misalignment Good alignment shows no real difference from flats Full angle ~ 60-80 degrees Good News? –Effects of cone structure not dominant –Can use flats for source studies
