Briefly, what does this PR introduce?

The aerogel, previously implemented as a single block, has been divided into two perfectly overlapping parts. A carbon-fiber structure has been integrated within the configuration, designed to mechanically support and encapsulate each aerogel element.
The main structural parameters are now easily configurable through the drich.xml file located in epic/compact/pid, without requiring direct modifications to the source code.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

  • Bug fix (issue #__)
  • New feature (issue #__)
    Tiled aerogel optics, tunable size
  • Documentation update
  • Other: __

Please check if this PR fulfills the following:

  • Tests for the changes have been added
  • Documentation has been added / updated
  • Changes have been communicated to collaborators
