Correct parameters are almost certainly needed - Rick Perley goes to 
enormous work to find them for the EVLA and his results are present in 
AIPS in large (!) tables.  We have been given no parameters for ALMA and 
the CASA manager tells me they do not exist.  However, he tells me that 
the pipeline produces a beam image so the NAASC should be able to get 
you such an image for your data.  Jeff tells me that the most serious 
term in the ALMA beam model is antenna dependent (!!) so it is any one's 
guess how that affects images.
