... The generalized aperture program is designed to simulate the effects on the incident photon stream of physical obstructions, such as thermal baffles and pre- and post-collimators. ... The philosophy behind the aperture program is that a geometrically complicated aperture may be modeled by a combination of geometrically simpler apertures. ... The generalized aperture program takes a list of assemblies and apertures created by the front end, and compares each input photon to the apertures, in turn. ...
