Ct. Murphy et al., FIRST RESULTS FROM BENT CRYSTAL EXTRACTION AT THE FERMILAB TEVATRON, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 119(1-2), 1996, pp. 231-238
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.
