The concept of crystal collimation exploits the peculiar properties of crystalline materials to
deflect high-energy beam particles at angles orders of magnitude larger than what can be …

The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to collide proton beams of
unprecedented energy, in order to extend the frontiers of high-energy particle physics …

The LHC collimation system is designed to provide protection against regular and abnormal
losses in order to reduce the risk of quenches of the superconducting magnets as well as the …

A variety of processes can cause unavoidable beam losses during normal and abnormal
beam operation. Because of the high stored energy of about 700 MJ and the small …

The first run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN was very successful and resulted
in important physics discoveries. One way of increasing the luminosity in a collider, which …

During Long Shutdown 1, 18 Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collimators were replaced with a
new design, in which beam position monitor (BPM) pick-up buttons are embedded in the …

Crystal collimation is an advanced technique where a silicon crystal, only a few millimeters
long and bent to a curvature of about 50 μrad, coherently deflects the beam halo onto a …

This work considers the near-infrared range diffraction radiation (DR) from a modulated
beam of particles passing between two identical dielectric circular nanowires covered with …

The Large Hadron Collider has a complex collimation system installed to protect its sensitive
equipment from normal and abnormal beam losses. The collimators are set around the …

The concept of crystal collimation relies on the use of bent crystals to coherently deflect
positively charged particles with suitable impact conditions by trapping them in the potential …
