Apparatus for crystal extraction system at the U-70 synchrotron of IHEP

Abstract

Studies on the steering of particle beams using channeling in aligned bent crystals have been performed at IHEP for many years. Different types of extraction schemes with bent crystals and technical equipment have been developed for experiments to test new crystal devices and to study beam collimation processes. A special apparatus has been designed to control the crystal extraction system. In this article, we describe the crystal devices and in-vacuum goniometers, the beam diagnostic tools (intensity and profile measurements), and the beam feedback system.
