Computer Simulation of the Tevatron Crystal Extraction Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
The Fermilab crystal-extraction experiment E853 at Tevatron was simulated by Monte Carlo code CATCH [1] tested earlier in the CERN-SPS experiment [2–4]. Predictions for the extraction efficiency, angular scans and extracted beam profiles are presented. Several ideas are proposed and tested by the simulation, how to get in E853 the key information of the extraction experiment: the ”septum width” of a crystal and dependence of extraction efficiency on it, the impact parameters of protons at crystal, and the contribution of the first and multi passes to the extraction. The ways to optimize E853 are analyzed.

Optimization of crystal extraction experiment
Using a computer model for the crystal extraction, we investigate the bent-crystal parameters optimal for the extraction experiment. The optimal crystal curvature is found to be near 1 GeV/cm (for pv/R), i.e. a factor of 2–3 higher than for the crystal application in beam lines. An influence of the accelerator optics on extraction is discussed. A possibility of using the high-Z crystals for ext...
متن کاملCrystal experiments on efficient beam extraction
Silicon crystal was channeling and extracting 70-GeV protons from the U-70 accelerator with efficiency of 85.3±2.8% as measured for a beam of ∼10 12 protons directed towards crystals of ∼2 mm length in spills of ∼2 s duration. The experimental data follow very well the prediction of Monte Carlo simulations. This success is important to devise a more efficient use of the U-70 accelerator in Prot...
متن کاملCoherent effects in crystal collimation
We present theory for coherent effects observed in crystal collimation experiments that is in good quantitative agreement with RHIC and Tevatron data. We show that coherent scattering in a bent crystal strongly amplifies beam diffusion, with an effective radiation length shortened by orders of magnitude compared to amorphous material. This coherent scattering could replace the traditional amorp...
متن کاملThree-dimensional numerical simulation of temperature and flow fields in a Czochralski growth of germanium
For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configur...
متن کاملFirst observation of luminosity-driven extraction using channeling with a bent crystal
Luminosity-driven channeling extraction has been observed for the first time using a 900 GeV circulating proton beam at the superconducting Fermilab Tevatron. The extraction efficiency was found to be about 30%. A 150 kHz beam was obtained during luminosity-driven extraction with a tolerable background rate at the collider experiments. A 900 kHz beam was obtained when the background limits were...
