Shadow parameters shown for muons with different normalized impact distances ρ_R and impact angles ϕ₀, for the parameters of an SCT. In the left panels, the muon is not inclined, in the center, it is inclined toward the left (ψ = 0°), and in the right panels, it is inclined to the right (ψ = 180°), with a fixed inclination angle ν = 3°. Note that the azimuthal axis represents the photon emission angle ϕ − ϕ₀; see also Figure 5 for further details. From top to bottom, the panels show the maximum shadow distance, ﹩{L}_{2,{\rm{\max }}}﹩; the minimum shadow distance, ﹩{L}_{2,{\rm{\min }}}﹩; the total imaged muon track length, ﹩{L}_{{\rm{\max }}}-{L}_{2,{\rm{\max }}}+{L}_{2,{\rm{\min }}}﹩; the relative shadow contribution with respect to the unshadowed case; and the relative shadow contribution compared with the simplified case of a hole of radius R_sb using Vacanti’s formula. The gray shaded region in the center indicates the central hole in the primary mirror.
