Abstract
First results from Fermilab Experiment 853 are presented. E853 is an e xperiment to test the feasibility and efficiency of extracting a low-i ntensity beam from the halo of the Tevatron using channeling in a bent silicon crystal. The motivation of the experiment is to apply crystal extraction to trans-TeV accelerators like the LHC. Extensive simulati on work has been carried out. Two accelerator operating modes have bee n developed for crystal studies, ''kick'' mode and diffusion mode. Res ults from the first successful extraction in kick mode are presented.
