High Energy High Intensity Hadron Beams Simulation of "Crystal", the bent crystal based collimation experiment in the SPS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crystal collimation is a possible variant of the two-stage collimation systems used in modern accelerators, by which the collimation efficiency may be strongly enhanced. An experiment is proposed in the CERN-SPS to check the improved performance on crystal collimation. Here we present the experiment layout and we perform simulations showing in quantitative manner the expected behavior of crystal collimation in the SPS.

Crystal 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 کاملOptimization 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 کاملChanneling of high-energy particles in bent crystals ± Experiments at the CERN SPS
During the latest decade, experiments have been performed at the CERN SPS to investigate the use of high-energy channeled nuclei in bent crystals for extraction, beam splitting and beam bending. An understanding of channeling in a bent crystal with extraction and de ̄ection eciencies for dierent energies, crystal types and ions has been developed. Furthermore, the long-standing question of rad...
متن کاملOn Possibility of Crystal Extraction and Collimation at 0.1-1 GeV
Bent crystal situated in a circulating beam can serve for efficient slow extraction or active collimation of the beams. This technique, well established at 10-1000 GeV, could be efficient also at the energies as low as 0.1-10 GeV according to the computer simulations presented in this paper. Applications might include halo scraping in the Spallation Neutron Source or slow extraction from synchr...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency volume reflection of an ultrarelativistic proton beam with a bent silicon crystal.
The volume reflection phenomenon was detected while investigating 400 GeV proton interactions with bent silicon crystals in the external beam H8 of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. Such a process was observed for a wide interval of crystal orientations relative to the beam axis, and its efficiency exceeds 95%, thereby surpassing any previously observed value. These observations suggest new pe...
