Multiple Volume Reflection from Different Planes Inside One Bent Crystal

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that multiple volume reflections from different crystal planes can significantly enhance particle deflection angles, improving beam extraction and collimation efficiency in accelerators like the LHC.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of multiple volume reflection from different planes inside a single bent crystal, enabling larger deflections.

Findings

Deflection angle increased by more than four times.

Multiple volume reflections are possible when particles move at small angles to a crystal axis.

Potential application in improving beam extraction and collimation efficiency.

Abstract

It is shown that multiple volume reflections from different planes of one bent crystal becomes possible when particles move at a small angle with respect to a crystal axis. Such a Multiple Volume Reflection makes it possible to increase the particle deflection angle inside one crystal by more than four times and can be used to increase the efficiency of beam extraction and collimation at the LHC and many other accelerators.
