Below the critical photon energy, radiation is emitted over a wider angular cone. The usual low-frequency characteristic-angle estimate is
up to an order-one angular-width convention. At this gives
The aperture should therefore be enlarged vertically. A full width of order covers characteristic width; approximately covers and gives containment comparable with the preceding X-ray estimate in the same Gaussian model. The original width would pass only roughly in that model. Equivalent optics could instead reduce the spot at a relocated aperture, at the expense of angular acceptance. These estimates concern geometric acceptance; THz coherence and bunch structure require further beam data.
