New Capabilities of the FLUKA Multi-Purpose Code

Nikolaos Charitonidis, André Donadon Servelle, Philippe Jean Schoofs, Francesco Cerutti

FLUKA is a general purpose Monte Carlo code able to describe the transport and interaction of any particle and nucleus type in complex geometries over an energy range extending from thermal neutrons to ultrarelativistic hadron collisions. It has many diffe ...

Monte Carlo Modeling of Crystal Channeling at High Energies

Philippe Jean Schoofs

Charged particles entering a crystal close to some preferred direction can be trapped in the electromagnetic potential well existing between consecutive planes or strings of atoms. This channeling effect can be used to extract beam particles if the crystal ...

Monte Carlo modeling of crystal channeling at high energies

Alessio Ferrari, Philippe Jean Schoofs, Francesco Cerutti

Channeling in bent crystals is becoming a reliable and efficient technique for collimating beams. At CERN, the installation of crystals in LHC is under scrutiny by the UA9 collaboration with the goal of investigating if they are a viable option for the col ...

On thermal and radiation damage to silicon crystals in the LHC proton beam

Philippe Jean Schoofs

We investigate thermal and radiation effects in silicon crystals which can be used for extracting beam halo particles in high energy accelerators. Application of bent crystals for removing halo is considered as a promising technique to enhance the beam col ...
