Abstract

Measurements of the interaction of positively charged particles with bent crystals were obtained by developing a new and consolidated analysis method, for the use of UA9 collaboration. The method was deployed to characterize crystals with a length of a few mm along the beam direction and a bending angle in the order of 10 μrad to 100 μrad, typically exploited in the CERN accelerators. To assess their properties and quality, the crystals have been investigated in the Super Proton Synchrotron North Area with a beam of mixed hadrons at 180 GeV. The UA9 telescopic tracker has been used to collect the data. Some of them are used in the present study to describe and validate the applied data-analysis methodology.
