Description
Mitigating beam losses is the central challenge in slow extraction, and it is becoming increasingly critical as beam power continues to rise. A highly promising mitigation technique—proton beam channeling in a crystal—has been successfully demonstrated at the CERN SPS using 400 GeV beams, effectively steering the beam away from the extraction septa. There is strong interest in evaluating the benefits of this method at much lower energies. In this work, we present simulation results and experimental studies on the use of crystal shadowing for slow extraction of 8 GeV proton beams in the Fermilab Delivery Ring
