PLACE: Room 345 in the building 4, 3rd floor
TITLE: Accelerator Physics Seminar [ Crystal Channeling as a Tool to Steer Particle Beams ]
CONTACT: ohmipost.kek.jp
SPEAKER: V.M. Biryukov, Y.A. Chesnokov  (IHEP, Protvino, Russia)
LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: Bent single crystals can trap and deflect particle beams. This technique has been applied in a vast range of energies, from 5 MeV to 980 GeV, with achieved bending angles of up to 150 mrad. In IHEP Protvino the efficiency of crystal channeling aplied for extraction from 70-GeV accelerator has reached 85% with extracted-beam intensity of over 10^12 proton per spill of 1 s duration. We describe the progress of this technique in experiments done at CERN SPS, IHEP U-70, RHIC (BNL) and Tevatron (FNAL) and outline possible applications.
