چکیده

The use of a two stage crystal collimation system in the RHIC yellow ring is examined. The system includes a copper beam scraper and a bent silicon crystal. While scrapers were installed in both of the RHIC rings before the year 2000 run, the crystal is installed for the 2001 run in one ring only, forming a two stage collimation system there. We present simulations of the expected channeling through the bent silicon crystal for both protons and gold ions with various beam parameters. This gives a picture of the particle losses around the ring, and the expected channeling efficiency. These results are then used to optimize the beam parameters in the area of the crystal to obtain maximum channeling efficiency, minimize out-scattering in the secondary collimator, and reduce beam halo.

00 1 A Study of RHIC Crystal Collimation

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will experience increasing longitudinal and transverse heavy ion emittances, mostly due to intra-beam scattering (IBS). The experiments in RHIC are expected to not only have reduced luminosi-ties due to IBS but also an unwanted beam halo. Primary betatron collimators will be used to remove the large amplitude particles. The efficiency of the primary co...

Coherent 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...

High Energy High Intensity Hadron Beams Simulation of "Crystal", the bent crystal based collimation experiment in the SPS

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 crysta...
