A copper box has been added between the detector and the lead shielding as it is in the current IAXO setup.

Some comments about the changes:

  • The dimensions of the lead shaft solid have been modified in able to have the same dimensions of the copper box specifications:
    350 mm in the long side and 200 mm in the short sides
    thickness of top and bottom cover = 25 mm
    thickness of the walls = 10 mm

  • To maintain the 20 cm thickness of the lead shielding it would be necessary to modify the SideXY parameter but when doing this and producing the geometry, a last layer of a few mm thick appears in the ShieldingLayers configuration. That is why now SideXY=590 mm (as the original). I think this point needs revision @lobis
