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 …

Xsuite is a newly developed modular simulation package combining in a single flexible and
modern framework the capabilities of different tools developed at CERN in the past decades …

Simulations of single-particle tracking involving collimation systems need dedicated tools to
perform the different tasks needed. These include the accurate description of particle-matter …

Charged particles interacting with materials with a highly ordered structure can experience a
variety of coherent processes, among which crystal channeling is of particular interest to …

Protons and heavy-ion beams at unprecedented energies are brought into collisions in the
CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for high-energy experiments. The LHC multistage …

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 …

Thanks to its versatility in deploying large kicks with high efficiency, crystal channeling is
being integrated more and more into modern particle accelerators. For example, at the …

Abstract The HEPiX Benchmarking Working Group has developed a framework to
benchmark the performance of a computational server using the software applications of 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 …

Abstract With High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) beam intensities, there are
concerns that the beam losses in the dispersion suppressors around the betatron cleaning …
