I was trying to say that, from Mike Sullivan’s work we expected a larger vertical electron tail than horizontal. The maximum that would fit in the currently round focusing magnets at the IP turns out to be 23 sigma vertical, rather than the 15 sigma horizontally. This was assuming, at 275 GeV, a horizontal emittance of 24 nm, and a much smaller vertical emittance. As Christoph pointed out, you had been using a symmetric emittance,  of, was it 40 nm? In any case far larger than the actual beam in that case. So you probably have plenty of aperture. But we need to get this straight to avoid later heart attacks, and we need to do this for all the energy cases including 5 GeV with vertical emittance 10.2 nm and horizontal 20 nm.
