Investigation of the extraction and collimation of a beam in a circular accelerator using new crystal equipment

New crystalline equipment—an array of bent strips and fan reflector based on thin flat plates—has been used to investigate the extraction and collimation of a circulating beam in an accelerator with an energy of 50 and 1.3 GeV. It has been shown that new equipment can efficiently control the beam in a wide energy range. An extraction and collimation efficiency of 90%, which is a record for this method, has been achieved for 50-GeV protons.
