As you stated before, you may have to do the experiment several times to get any detection. So the same applies to adding a mirror/detector/reflector.
If you can get just ONE photon to deflect off the mirror and end at the final detector, you have your measurement. (I think)
That is.. if the mirror is used to detect, but not absorb the photon. Like detect the presence or the "bounce"...or whatever.
Anyway... it's a real cool experiment, and I hope you figure it out.
