Axial Channeling of Positively Charged High-energy Proton Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deflection of protons under axial channeling in a silicon crystal bent along the <111> axis was observed on experiment with 400-GeV protons at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The deflection efficiency due to axial channeling of protons for the crystal with the bend angle 50 μrad was about 30 %. Axial channeling deflection occurred by means of doughnut scattering and hyper-channeling, this latter involving about 2% of the particles.

Despite major progress in radiotherapy, exponential attenuation of initial photons due to the nature of their interaction with matter has remained as the most important challenge. Photons have no well-defined range and their doses are reduced exponentially. Therefore, tissues located before and after the tumors receive a significant dose. Today, new techniques based on proton and carbon charged...
متن کاملAccelerator Neutrino Beams
Neutrino beams at from high-energy proton accelerators have been instrumental discovery tools in particle physics. Neutrino beams are derived from the decays of charged π and K mesons, which in turn are created from proton beams striking thick nuclear targets. The precise selection and manipulation of the π/K beam control the energy spectrum and type of neutrino beam. This article describes the...

Introduction: The main advantage of using ion beams over photons in radiotherapy is due to their inverse depth-dose profiles, allowing higher doses to tumors, while better sparing normal tissues. When calculating dose distributions with ion beams, one crucial point is the uncertainty of the Bragg-peak range. Recently great effort is devoted to enhance the accuracy of the comput...

متن کاملSpace-Charge Compensation in High-Intensity Proton Rings
Recently, it was proposed to use negatively charged electron beams for compensation of beambeam effects due to protons in the Tevatron collider [1]. We show that a similar compensation is possible in space-charge dominated low energy proton beams. The idea has a potential of severalfold increase of the FNAL Booster beam brightness. Best results will be obtained using three electron lenses aroun...
