    Channeling is the phenomenon well-known in the physics world mostly related to the motion of the beams of charged particles in aligned crystals. Since the beginning of 1970s channeling of high-energy leptons (electrons/positrons of several MeV up to hundred GeV energies) and hadrons (protons/ions of tens GeV up to several TeV energies) has been applied at various famous world research centres...

    Crystal-based extraction using a bent crystal has been already applied at several high-energy hadron accelerators, but has never been applied for electrons. However, this technique can be very promising for synchrotron light sources and for existing and future lepton collider projects as well for nuclear and particle physics detectors and generic detector R&D and in many projects in...

    We have investigated long-time dynamics of the quantum carpets occurring in positron transmission through a chiral single-wall carbon nanotube in the channeling mode. We found that the carpet structure depends strongly on the width of the initial wave packet. In the case of the narrow wave packet obtained carpet is periodic and very regular, woven by full and fractional wave packet revivals....

    Changing the temperature of single crystal lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) at moderate vacuum conditions gives an attractive possibility to generate and accelerate electron up to 100 keV. The electrons are ejected either from the crystal or from the target (depending on polarity). The electrons than generate X-Rays via bremsstrahlung and characteristic X-ray emission processes.

    A narrow (30−40 μm in diameter) capillary-like rippled channel finished by a post-channel crown was observed in 2D hydrodynamic interaction regime of 100J@100 ns KrF laser pulses with a translucent PMMA targets at intensities up to 5×1012 W/cm^2. Channel formation mechanism includes self-consistent laser beam filamentation along UV light penetration depth. The modelling experiments with a...

    The INFN Laboratories of Frascati host a sparkling community working on X-ray detection and its possible applications. Among this community, the SIDDHARTA-2 and the VOXES collaborations developed and implied, in the last years, a series of spectroscopic detectors for several purposes, ranging from a few keV to almost 300 keV.
    The SIDDHARTA-2 experiment at LNF exploits the large area of...

    The problem of dynamic diffraction of X-rays from a point source on the spatial lattice of a crystal with a weak deformation field is considered. Theoretical study is based on the asymptotic representation of the Green-Riemann function for a pair of Takagi-Taupin equations of the hyperbolic type. Experimental studies were carried out on quartz crystals in the presence of a temperature gradient...

    Here we present a new line of transportable and portable X-ray instruments. They have been manufactured based on a number of specifications:
    - high sensitivity, low cost, cheap and easily programmable electronics, AI-based software and "open source" platforms
    High sensitivity is achieved by adopting INFN polycapillary lenses, in particular a semi-lens for diffraction and a cylindrical lens...

    Transportation sector is facing a watershed moment: the need of reducing emission of greenhouse gases imposes radical changes in propulsion systems. Despite the run to powertrain electrification, this goal is far to be realized before 2050. Therefore, more and more attention will be paid worldwide to rich close-to-zero pollutant emissions from future road transportation vehicles.
    Next future...

    X-ray applications are widely used in the world. By the way, due to the high interaction between radiation and matter, the possibility to have optical devices suitable for X-ray radiation is not trivial. In the last 30 years, the studies concerning novel advanced material have fostered the development of several solutions for more efficient X-ray lens, necessary to perform high spatial...

    The demonstration of the reliable operation of an X-band radio-frequency (RF) photoinjector with fields $\sim 0.4$~GV/m [1] on a photocathode provides a pathway to bright electron bunches. This success was enabled by powering the RF gun with short RF pulses thereby mitigating breakdowns and dark-current generation. The ~300-MW RF pulses were generated by decelerating a high-charge relativistic...

    The SPHINX project aims building an ultrafast X-ray holographic camera able to record images of microscopic samples and of their internal parts with nanometer resolution. The application is based on a new implementation of the phase-contrast holography that overcomes the main limitations encountered in the current systems (mostly based on absorption-contrast), namely the low energy range, the...

    The channeling effect in a curved single crystal is considered. In an accompanying reference frame moving along a plane or channeling axis at a speed equal to the longitudinal component of the electron velocity, such motion is essentially an implementation of the model of a one-dimensional 1D atom or a two-dimensional 2D atom, and with controllable parameters. The depth and shape of the...

    In future heavy-ion runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the stored beam energy is planned to increase and reach values above 20 MJ. This requires improving the performance of the betatron collimation system. The solution found is to use crystal channeling to reduce nuclear fragmentation and guide halo particles safely to an absorber. Crystal collimation is part of the HL-LHC baseline and...

    The mitigation of the beam losses in slow extraction is becoming more and more demanding in accelerator applications for HEP as the beam power is gradually increasing. The successful demonstration of using the proton beam channeling at 450GeV to deflect the beam away from the extraction septa opens the new levels of improving the slow extraction efficiency.
    It is yet to be demonstrated that...

    The phenomenon of Half-Wavelength Crystal (HWC) channeling, where a particle experiences "mirroring" due to a single collision with a crystallographic plane, has been observed for protons and electrons. While the HWC channeling phenomenon has been observed for 400 GeV protons at CERN-SPS [1] and for 255-MeV electrons at the SAGA-LS Facility [2, 3], there are additional parameters that arise in...
