Description
Summary:In the TeV energy domain, it becomes difficult and very costly to control the trajectories of particles using electromagnets to obtain the extracted beams on accelerators. Highly gradient devices based on curved crystals are more suitable for these purposes. These crystals can work as super-strong lenses with a focal length of less than 1 m and with an equivalent magnetic field of 1000 T. In this paper, a scheme for the formation of a divergent beam with an energy of 50 GeV by two sequentially arranged focusing crystals is implemented to create an axially symmetric beam with a small divergence of 30 µrad in both horizontal and vertical planes. One promising application of such a scheme is the creation of high-energy neutrino beams.
