We outline the many physics opportunities offered by a multi-purpose fixed-target
experiment using the proton and lead–ion beams of the LHC extracted by a bent crystal. In a …

We review the context, the motivations and the expected performances of a comprehensive
and ambitious fixed-target programme using the multi-TeV proton and ion LHC beams. We …

Two high-accuracy goniometers equipped with two bent silicon crystals were installed in the
betatron cleaning insertion of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during its long …

Bent silicon crystals mounted on high-accuracy angular actuators were installed in the
CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and extensively tested to assess the feasibility of …

The experimental studies of high-energy charged particle deflection due to planar and axial
channeling as well as volume reflection and multi volume reflections in short bent crystals at …

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 …

We propose a unique program of measurements of electric and magnetic dipole moments of
charm, beauty and strange charged baryons at the LHC, based on the phenomenon of spin …

The flux of high-energy protons slow-extracted from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron
(SPS) is limited by the induced radioactivity caused by the beam loss intrinsic to the …

The LHC heavy-ion program with Pb 208 82+ beams will benefit from a significant increase
of the beam intensity when entering its high-luminosity era in Run 3 (2023). The stored …

Collimation systems in particle accelerators are designed to dispose of unavoidable losses
safely and efficiently during beam operation. Different roles are required for different types of …
