On the scaling of electron dechanneling length in bent crystals

TL;DR

This paper proposes a method to compare experimental and simulation results of electron dechanneling lengths in bent crystals across different energies and radii, validated through comparisons with multiple experiments and Monte Carlo predictions.

Contribution

It introduces a new approach for cross-comparing electron dechanneling data from various experiments and simulations at different energies and crystal curvatures.

Findings

Consistent comparison framework for experiments and simulations.

Validation with SLAC and MAMI experimental data.

Agreement between Monte Carlo predictions and experimental results.

Abstract

We suggest a way to compare the experiments and simulations of electron dechanneling length in bent crystals performed at different energies and different radii. As an example, we compare the SLAC experiment at 3-14 GeV with earlier published predictions of two different Monte Carlo codes for 855 MeV and 50 GeV, and with MAMI experiment at 855 MeV.
