| A
project is now
underway at Fermilab studying the use of bent crystals to improve collimation
of the circulating proton beam in the Tevatron. This is
based in part on ideas developed for the Superconducting Super Collider
by Nikolai Mokhov and Sasha Drozhdin. These ideas have been studied in
some detail by Mokhov, Drozhdin, and Valery Biryukov of Serpukhov. The
concept has been tested recently at Brookhaven by Ray Fliller (now at
Fermilab), Angelika Drees, Dejan Trbojevic and others at the RHIC
accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Mokhov is now leading a
group at Fermilab to study this at the Fermilab Tevatron. Dean Still is
in charge of the collimation effort. Others involved include V.
Shiltzev, T. Johnson, J. Annala, R. Reilly, and D. Plant. More information on the work of Still's group is available at the Tevatron Crystal Collimation Link. Recent results are available at the all_experimenters_meeting, October 24, 2005 and Fermilab Today, October 27 |
