The UA9 setup, installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, was exploited for a proof of principle of the double-crystal scenario, proposed to measure the electric and the magnetic moments of short-lived baryons in a high-energy hadron collider, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Linear and angular actuators were used to position the crystals and establish the required beam configuration. [...]

First observation of ion beam channeling in bent crystals at multi-TeV energies
/ Redaelli, S (CERN) ; Butcher, M (CERN) ; Barreto, C (CERN) ; Losito, R (CERN) ; Masi, A (CERN) ; Mirarchi, D (CERN) ; Montesano, S (CERN) ; Rossi, R (CERN ; INFN, Rome ; Rome U.) ; Scandale, W (CERN) ; Serrano Galvez, P (CERN) et al.
Planar channeling in bent crystals has been observed in LHC with multi-TeV proton beam in 2015. Two crystals, mounted on novel high-accuracy goniometers (one in the horizontal and one in the vertical plane), are integrated in the LHC collimation system, for studying the feasibility of the crystal-based collimation scheme. [...]

Focusing of a particle beam by a crystal device with a short focal length

Recent discussions about accelerators in high energy physics identified several challenges for the future, where it is necessary to focus particle beams over a distance of a few cm. In this paper, we investigate the focusing of particles by a new crystal device having such a capability. [...]

The UA9 setup for the double-crystal experiment in CERN-SPS
/ CERN UA 009 collaboration
Experiments to measure the electric and the magnetic moments of short-lived baryons using an internal target and two bent crystals in the vicinity of one of the existing LHC detectors were recently proposed, in the frame of the Physics Beyond Colliders Working Group at CERN. Investigating fixed-target physics in the LHC with in-vacuum solid targets is an unprecedented challenge. [...]

Observation of strong reduction of multiple scattering for channeled particles in bent crystals
/ Scandale, W (CERN) ; Arduini, G (CERN) ; Cerutti, F (CERN) ; Garattini, M ; Gilardoni, S (CERN) ; Losito, R (CERN) ; Masi, A (CERN) ; Mirarchi, D (CERN) ; Montesano, S (CERN) ; Redaelli, S (CERN) et al.
Strong reduction of multiple scattering for channeled particles has been observed in an experiment on the deflection of a 180 GeV/c π+ -meson beam by bent silicon crystals. The RMS deflections due to multiple scattering for the channeled particles were about six times smaller than for non-channeled ones. [...]

Channeling efficiency in a target-crystal assembly

In view of possible future fixed target experiments requiring precisely steered charged particle beams, the UA9 Collaboration has undertaken experimental studies of the use of bent silicon crystals for this purpose. The channeling efficiency of positively charged particles inside the crystalline lattice has been investigated in detail for a setup with a tungsten target installed in front of the crystal. [...]

Angular asymmetry of the nuclear interaction probability of high energy particles in short bent crystals

The rate of inelastic nuclear interactions in a short bent silicon crystal was precisely measured for the first time using a 180 GeV/c positive hadron beam produced in the North Experimental Area of the CERN SPS. An angular asymmetry dependence on the crystal orientation in the vicinity of the planar channeling minimum has been observed. [...]

Beam steering performance of bent silicon crystals irradiated with high-intensity and high-energy protons

Beam steering performance of bent silicon crystals irradiated with high-intensity and high-energy protons has been studied. In particular, crystals of the type used for collimation and extraction purposes in the Large Hadron Collider and the Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN have been irradiated at the HiRadMat CERN facility with $2.5 \times 10^{13}$ 440 GeV/c protons, with a pulse length of 7.2 $\upmu $s.

Reduction of multiple scattering of high-energy positively charged particles during channeling in single crystals
/ Scandale, W. (CERN) ; Esposito, L.S. (CERN) ; Garattini, M. (CERN ; Imperial Coll., London) ; Rossi, R. (CERN) ; Zhovkovska, V. (CERN) ; Natochii, A. (CERN ; Orsay, LAL) ; Addesa, F.

We present the experimental observation of the reduction of multiple scattering of high-energy positively charged particles during channeling in single crystals. According to our measurements the rms angle of multiple scattering in the plane orthogonal to the plane of the channeling is less than half that for non-channeled particles moving in the same crystal.
