Abstract
A new method is proposed here aiming at designing a shielding wall with the efficiency significantly higher than that of traditional designs. This new design arises from the idea of using channeling in multilayered shielding wall structure, each layer composed of bent crystallites distributed in a way that each layer covers a small section of 2π angular range of which wall is exposed. Part of the incident charged particles will get channeled in bent crystallites in each layer. Bending of channeled particles in bent crystallites will change their directions in the wall increasing their path lengths in the wall which would enhance its shielding efficiency for charged particle radiations. Proposed design is useful for radiation shielding in fission power plants, future fusion reactors and air travel.

Summary
Radiation shielding is a great concern in environments of nuclear technology and air travel [1] [2]. These environments include various radiation fields with a considerable component of charged particle rays. Bending of charged particle rays would be achieved by employing a multilayered shield with each layer composed of pieces of bent crystals. Strong fields of bent crystalline planes and axes have an ability of bending charged particles entering planar and axial channels under certain conditions [3] [4] [5] [6].
