CSN1, Sept. 17, 2007Crystal Collimation Experiment - W.Scandale3 INRODUCTION Bent-crystal technique is well established for extraction of high energy hadron and heavy-ion beams from accelerators. Such an extraction was successfully demonstrated for up to 900 GeV beams at JINR, IHEP, CERN and Fermilab. Bend crystal channeling technique for beam halo collimation at high-energy considered for the SSC and the LHC since the early 90’s. A bent crystal, serving as a primary element, should coherently bend halo particles onto a secondary collimator. First successful measurements were performed at IHEP in 1998 for 1 to 70 GeV protons. Results of H8RD22 crucial to this respect (volume reflection efficiency up to 98 %). Test of a bent crystal into the Tevatron collimation system. First measurements (2005/06) quite encouraging.

CSN1, Sept. 17, 2007Crystal Collimation Experiment - W.Scandale5 PROPOSAL FOR EXPERIMENT AT TEVATRON Perform tests of crystal collimation at the tevatron, aiming at the highest-performance collimation in both the transverse planes. The results will be extrapolated to the LHC collimation system at full luminosity and beyond, A US-LARP Crystal Collimation Project has been proposed to conduct these studies in the time frame required by the LHC plans. An international collaboration is being organized to address the scientific issues

CSN1, Sept. 17, 2007Crystal Collimation Experiment - W.Scandale8 TEVATRON MEASUREMENT GOALS 1.Channeled beam* 2.Volume-reflected beam* 3.Beam loss and radiation levels downstream of the crystal setup 4.Beam loss rate in the B0 (CDF beam-halo monitors) for 1- and 2- plane collimation 5.Possible deformation of the crystal or crystal holder during a vacuum baking process. 6.Attempt to study crystal damage: shock and integrated dose. (*) Add dedicated beam diagnostics Quantitative measure of collimation efficiency improvement is reduction of (3) – primary LHC concern – and (4). Simulate the deflected beam loss in the Tevatron and LHC (in collaboration with IHEP and CERN colleagues). Consistency with the current secondary collimator and absorber layout is of a concern here: need simulations and optimizations.

CSN1, Sept. 17, 2007Crystal Collimation Experiment - W.Scandale9 1.Demonstrate channeling with the existing strip crystal or with the ST4 crystal that was characterized in the September 2006 H8 experiment at CERN (by IHEP, CERN & INFN, arrived at Fermilab in March 07). 2.Confirm the preliminary result that crystal channeling and volume reflections can improve the Tevatron collimation system efficiency. 3.Perform detailed simulations of collimation system performance with a single strip crystal in the realistic Tevatron lattice for both channeled and volume-reflected beams. 4.Work out a plan on beam diagnostics improvement and specify new goniometer for 2009 beam studies. TASKS-2007 (TeV study time: 1.5 shifts = 12 hrs)

CSN1, Sept. 17, 2007Crystal Collimation Experiment - W.Scandale10 1.Build improved beam diagnostics system and new goniometer. 2.Develop new strip and multistrip crystals. 3.Complete EOS and proton-only store angular scans with the crystal chosen in Perform detailed simulations for a complete two-plane crystal-based Tevatron collimation system. 5.Try to perform tests to provide information about the possible deformation of the crystal or crystal holder during a vacuum baking process (up to 200 degrees). 6.Investigate a possibility for a crystal damage experiment where crystals and instrumentation for assessing dose rates could be placed in the Fermilab beams. Once enough beam is integrated on one crystal, it should be moved back to CERN for H8 beam line characterization. TASKS-2008 (TeV study time: 1.5 shifts = 12 hrs)
