Abstract
Proton beam extraction from the CERN SPS by means of a bent silicon cr ystal is reported at three different energies, 14 GeV, 120 GeV and 270 GeV. The experimental results are compared to computer simulations wh ich contain a sound model of the SPS accelerator as well as the channe ling phenomena in bent crystals. The overall energy dependence of crys tal assisted proton beam extraction is understood and provides the bas is to discuss such a scheme for future accelerators.
