Its application to the LHC upgrade becomes more and more topical [2–4]. The basic idea is to use a bent crystal in channeling mode to deflect halo particles by relatively large angles to high impact parameters of particle collisions with an absorber [2–5]. Fig. 1. A crystal with positive miscut angle before (left) and after (right) bending with angle ϕ. θc (pos- itive), θm (positive) and θs = θc − θm (negative) are, respectively, the crystal plane misalignment angle, miscut angle and crystal surface misorienta- tion angle, all measured in the direction of crystal bending, at that the angles θc and θs – from the z axis, parallel to the velocity of the particle just touching the crystal, and the angle θm – from the crystal surface direction. Particles, moving from the left to the right with small impact parameters, enter the crystal through the lateral (upper) crystal surface If the first particle collision with the crystal colli- mator occurs at sufficiently small particle incidence angle w.r.t. the crystal planes (at pure alignment, θc = 0), the probability of particle capture into the channeling regime reaches its maximum. However even a small nonparallelity of the lateral crystal sur- face with atomic planes, characterized by the miscut angle θm, is able to severely disturb the motion of particles hitting the crystal with small impact para- meters. In particular, if the miscut angle is negative, the channeling motion can be interrupted before the particle reaches the exit crystal face [5]. Since a con- siderable number of such particles will not reach an absorber fast, the negative miscut is recommended to be avoided [5]. By this reason the positive one (Fig. 1) was chosen for the recent UA9 experiments [2] aimed to demonstrate the viability of crystal col- limation. However the nuclear reaction rate in the perfectly aligned crystal collimator about five time exceeding the theoretically predicted [3] value was observed. In this paper for the first time we investi- gate the influence of positive miscut on collimation efficiency and demonstrate that it gives rise to up to 4.5 time increase of the nuclear reaction rate in the collimator. We also predict the low influence of the positive miscut on the efficiency of the future LHC crystal collimation system but first suggest simple estimates for the beam diffusion step, impact para- meter of particle collisions with the collimator and angular divergence of the part of the beam particles colliding with the latter for the first time. 2. PARTICLE DIFFUSION IN THE ACCELERATOR RING When positively charged particles strike a bent crys- tal moving strictly parallel to its planes, they can be captured into the regime of stable channeling motion with a probability of 80-85%. However because of beam angular divergence, the “channeling probabil- ity” decreases by the value ΔPch ∝ 〈ϑ2〉 [1]. This decrease remains negligible only if 〈ϑ2〉 ≤ 0.01ϑ2 ch. Fortunately, the angular divergence of the beam por- tion striking a primary collimator first time often sat- isfies this condition. So, the 15... 20% of particles can escape channeling at the crystal penetration through its normal entrance face and can be considerably de- flected. Particles entering a crystal with negative miscut [5] at small enough impact parameters are angularly dispersed even stronger. Because of this and also since a miscut can not be avoided in prac- tice, the positive miscut is commonly preferred [5].

Series: Nuclear Physics Investigations (57), p. 88-92. this case, the particles with the small enough impact parameters enter the crystal through its lateral face frequently avoiding capture even in the case of pure crystal alignment. The uncaptured particles are scat- tered like in amorphous matter, acquiring the average deflection angle squared proportional to the length Δz of particle path through the crystal. Besides the angles of miscut θm value depends on the particle impact parameter Δ with the crystal collimator and some other parameters (see [1] and Fig. 2).

Assuming that the beam is axially symmetric and has normal distribution [4] dN dρ = Nρ σ2 exp ( − ρ2 2σ2 ) (1) and taking into account that the particle loss rate at the collimator position ρc can be written in two ways dN dt = N τ = ( dN dρ ) ρc δ T , (2) one can obtain the estimate of diffusion step (see [1]): δ = σ2T τρc exp ( ρ2 c 2σ2 ) . (3) N is a total number of particles in the ring, T and σ are particle revolution period and r.m.s. beam radius correspondingly. The table illustrates Eq. (3) appli- cation to the cases of both the UA9 experiment and IR7 beta collimation region at the LHC [6]. Note a really drastic δ difference in the cases of the UA9 ex- periment with low intensity beam and ρc � 3.5σ and the intensive LHC beam and ρc = 6σ. 3. PARTICLE IMPACT PARAMETER AND DEFLECTION ANGLE To simulate both the particle impact parameter and angular deflection at the moment of the first collision with the collimator we will proceed from the pseudo- harmonic representation of the betatron oscillations: x(ψ) = x0 cosψ. (4) Here ψ and x0 = √ εβ are, respectively, the oscil- lation phase and amplitude, the latter of which is determined by the beam emittance ε and accelerator beta function β. The particle direction of incidence on the crystal will be described by the angle θ(ψ) = −x0 β [ sinψ − 1 2 dβ ds cosψ ] (5) of the velocity deviation from the direction of parti- cle motion touching the collimator having x0 = xc. δ 0 ze l Δz x xc Δ xs(0) θ xe θs Fig. 2. A particle entering the crystal through the lateral surface. The crystals extends from z = 0 to z = l, xc is the collimator radial coordinate, (xe = xs(ze), ze) is the particle enter point while (xs(0), 0) is the left upper corner of the crystal, θ and θs are the deflection particle angle and crystal sur- face misalignment one, respectively, Δz is the length of particle trajectory inside the crystal, δ and Δ are, respectively, the particle diffusion step and impact parameter The process of increase of the betatron oscillation amplitude was simulated using the formula x0(n) = x0(n− 1) + 2δξ1, (6) where n = 1, 2, .. is the number of particle revolution in the ring after the moment when x0(0) = xc. ξ1 (like ξ2 and ξ3 below) are random numbers uniformly distributed through the interval (0, 1). In absence of phase correlations between betatron oscillations on different revolution periods according to [1] we can obtain single and cumulative collision probabilities: pn � 1 π √ 2nδ xc , PN = n=N∑ n=1 pn � 2 3π √ 2δ xc N3/2. (7) Since the cumulative collision probability increases faster and faster with the revolution number N , the “collision condition” |ψ| ≤ ψ(x0(n)) inevitably be- comes fulfilled at some revolution N with some ran- dom values of x0(N) and ψ allowing to evaluate both the collision coordinate (4) and angle (5) of particle deflection at the moment of collision. 89 Fig. 3. Particle distribution in impact parameter for the UA9 (SPS) (a) and the same for the LHC (b) and particle distribution in deflection angle for both the UA9 (SPS) and the LHC (c) Particle distributions in the impact parameter Δ ≡ x − xc and deflection angle θ, simulated for the UA9 and LHC cases, are represented in Fig. 3. A three order in value difference in the impact parame- ter in the UA9 and LHC cases is directly related to that in the diffusion step – see the table. Assuming that the collisions occur at PN ∼ 1, Eq. (7) can be re- versed to estimate the typical revolution number be- fore the collision, the average impact parameter and absolute value of the deflection angle respectively: N � (3πPN )2/3 2 3 √ xc δ ∼ 2 3 √ xc δ , (8) 〈Δ〉 = P−1 N n=N∑ n=1 pn[x0(n) cos(ψ) − xc] � (9) � 3(3πP ′ N )2/3 10 3 √ xcδ2 ∼ 1.3 3 √ xcδ2, 〈|θ|〉 = P−1 N n=N∑ n=1 pnx0(n) sin(ψ)/β � (10) � 3(3πP ′′ N)1/3 8 3 √ x2 cδ β ∼ 0.8 3 √ x2 cδ β . The right hand sides of Eqs. (8)-(10) contain numeri- cal factors found from the simulations and determin- ing effective collision probabilities PN , P ′ N , P ′′ N ∼ 1 which should be considered as the parameters com- pensating a slight model inconsistency. Additionally, Eqs. (8)-(10) allow to compare the conditions of the UA9 experiment with the possible LHC crystal colli- mation system as well as to estimate the perspectives of crystal collimation development [7]. Fig. 4, a again demonstrates that the radical difference in diffusion steps results in the drastic difference in average im- pact parameters in the UA9 and LHC cases. 4. COLLIMATION EFFICIENCY FOR THE UA9 EXPERIMENT A simulated value of the impact parameter Δ can be directly used to evaluate both the entrance transverse coordinate (4) and angle (5), the knowledge of both of which is necessary to simulate the particle trajec- tory inside the crystal in order to obtain the angle of particle deflection by the latter. Recall that we mea- sure the angles from the direction of motion of the particle just touching the collimator at its maximum displacement x(ψ = 0) = x0 = xc from the beam axis (see Fig. 2). Note de bene esse that the chosen zero direction forms the angle w.r.t. the beam axis: dx(ψ = 0) ds = 1 2 √ ε β dβ ds = −xc β α. (11) Here s is the beam longitudinal coordinate and α = −dβ/ds/2 is the conventional Twiss parameter. In the ideal case a crystal has no miscut and its planes form zero angle w.r.t. the chosen direction. Particles neither enter the crystal through its lateral surface no leave the one through it if they are channeled. The real situation is complicated by the inevitable presence of both crystal miscut and crystal plane mis- alignment at the entrance surface, characterized by the angles θm and θc, respectively. The crystal mis- alignment angle is assumed to be positive if the planes are rotated in the direction of crystal bending. If one determines the miscut angle as the one of crys- tal plane rotation in the direction of crystal bending w.r.t. the crystal lateral surface, the misorientation angle of the latter, measured from the same zero an- gle direction, will be equal to θs0 = θs(0) = θc − θm. If the crystal is bent with radius R, the surface tan- gential direction will vary like θs(z) = θs0 +z/R with the longitudinal coordinate z � s− sc: xs(z) = xs(0) + ∫ z 0 θs(z)dz = xs(0) + θs0z + z2/2R. (12) A behavior of the surface coordinate (12) also mea- sured in the crystal bending direction, considerably differs if θs0 > 0 and θs0 < 0 and, in the latter case, if |θs0| > ϕ and |θs0| < ϕ, where ϕ = l/R is the bend- ing angle of the crystal with length l. So, if θs0 < 0 a particle can enter the crystal through the lateral sur- face and, if −ϕ < θs0 < 0, also leave it through the latter. On the opposite, if θs0 > 0 particles always en- ter the crystal through the entrance face, while leave it either through the lateral or exit ones. All the cases are determined by the impact parameter Δ. To get simple formulae for all possible situations we first determined the minimal crystal surface coordinate xmin ≡ xc. After the Monte Carlo sampling of the impact parameter value Δ = x(ψ) − xc correspond- ing transverse collision coordinate x(ψ) was used to evaluate the longitudinal one ze from the equation xs(ze) = x(ψ). Then both the particle entrance point coordinates (x(ψ), ze) and initial deflection angle (5) were used as the initial conditions for its trajectory simulation inside the crystal. 90 Fig. 4. Average impact parameter vs average beam diffusion step for the SPS UA9 (upper curve) and the LHC (lower one). Solid parts mark the actual parameter regions (a). Measured in centimeters average length 〈Δz〉 of scattering of particles entering the crystal through the lateral crystal surface vs both miscut angle and diffusion step at perfect crystal alignment (b). Probability of nuclear reactions in the crystal collimator vs miscut angle at perfect crystal alignment (c) A possibility to leave the crystal through the lat- eral surface at some z < l was permanently moni- tored using Eq. (12). The particle transverse coor- dinate and deflection angle at the exit together with the crystal position sc in the ring became the initial conditions for the particle motion simulation in the accelerator ring with the simplest model of betatron motion. We used at first a simplified approach to elaborate a general view on the influence of positive miscut on the collimation efficiency. The idea origi- nates from the mentioned proportionality of the de- crease of the channeling efficiency at the second crys- tal penetration to the squared angle of multiple scat- tering of particles entering the crystal first through the lateral surface. Since the latter, in turn, is pro- portional to the scattering length Δz, one can con- clude that simply ΔPch ∝ Δz and reduce the issue to the analysis of the behavior of the averaged length 〈Δz〉 of the first pass through the crystal of the parti- cles entering the latter exclusively crossing its lateral surface. Fig. 4, b illustrates the simulated behavior of 〈Δz〉 in the typical UA9 case of l = 2 mm and ϕ = l/R = 150 μrad. Surprisingly, the simulations unambiguously point to the region θm ∼ 100 μrad and δ ∼ 1 Å of the UA9 experiment parameters as to the one of the greatest possible miscut influence on the collimation. Since the scattering length deter- mines the decrease of the channeling probability and since nonchanneled particles induce more nuclear re- actions that the channeled ones, Fig. 4, b has to si- multaneously reflect the behavior of the rate of the nuclear reactions induced in the crystal collimator. To illuminate the possible role of positive miscut in the UA9 experiment we, according to Ref. [3] and the table, had put δ = 1 Å and conducted detail Monte Carlo simulations of the nuclear reactions in the miscut angle interval −300 μrad≤ θm ≤ 300 μrad taking now into detail consideration also the particle motion in the crystal collimator. The dependence obtained (Fig. 4, c) demonstrates an evident agree- ment with that of 〈Δz〉 along the vertical (red) line drawn at δ = 1 Å in Fig. 4, b, confirming thus the strong influence of the positive miscut on the colli- mation process. In principle, positive miscut causes even slightly larger increase in nuclear reaction rate (the right peak) than the negative one (the left one). At this the increase of the reaction probability caused by the positive miscut with θm � 125 μrad reaches 8.6/1.9 � 4.5. Thus, the miscut influence, for sure, should be taken into consideration for the full inter- pretation of the UA9 experiments [2]. 5. MISCUT INFLUENCE AT THE LHC For the future possible application at the LHC it is important to clarify how the deteriorating miscut influence can be avoided. A joint consideration of the particle motion in both the ring and the crys- tal results in the encouraging conclusion that the ob- served undesirable increase in nuclear reaction rate can be easily avoided in both UA9 and LHC cases. In fact, some of the conditions of the UA9 experi- ment prove to be practically optimal for the demon- stration of the maximum miscut role. The point is a perfect matching of the average impact parameter (9) 〈Δ〉 � 0.039 μm with the width xs(0) − xc = θ2mR/2 � 0.067 μm of the impact parameter region allowing particle entrance through the lateral crystal surface. This matching made possible both the lat- eral entrance of the majority of particles and their relatively continuous path inside the crystal, the av- erage value of which 〈Δz〉 � 1.2 mm exceeds a half of the crystal length l = 2 mm. It is namely the nearly “amorphous” scattering at such a length which gave the origin to the angular dispersion of particle beam causing the decrease of the capture probability to the channeling regime at their subsequent passages through the crystal collimator. At least two ways to decrease the miscut role by fulfilling the condition Δ xs(0) − xc < θml can be readily suggested. The most evident, though, probably, more difficult, is to lessen the miscut angle down to about 10 μrad, as Figs. 4, b and 4, c suggest. The second is to increase the collision parameter (9) 〈Δ〉 ∝ δ2/3 by means of beam diffusion acceleration. While the diffusion step could be nearly freely cho- sen in the collimation UA9 experiment, the actual 91 set of the LHC parameters solves this problem auto- matically. Indeed, if R = 100 m and l = 4 mm, one obtains xs(0)−xc � 0.32 μm, or more than a hundred times less than 〈Δ〉 � 43 μm� 130(xs(0) − xc) with- out special measures. Thus, only a negligible portion of the LHC protons will enter the crystal collimator through the lateral crystal surface even at the typical miscut angles of θm ∼ 100 μrad. It also should be noted that despite the relatively large value of the diffusion step δ, the angular diver- gence (10) of the colliding beam portion, as Fig. 3c demonstrates, is low enough to provide the probabil- ity of capture into the channeling regime comparable to the maximum one. Nevertheless some decrease in divergence remains desirable. The sharp dependence (3) of the diffusion step on the collimator aperture xc/σ allows to decrease δ by means of a slight de- crease of the latter. At this, if the divergence of the colliding beam portion is decreased by several times, it will become possible to sharply rise the probability of particle capture into the channeling regime up to 99% by the method of the crystal cut [7]. In conclusion, the positive miscut influence indeed could increase the nuclear reaction probability in the crystal collimator up to 4.5 times. Nevertheless if the crystal collimator system based on the channeling particle deflection is realized at the LHC, its function- ing will not be considerably disturbed by the influ- ence of crystal miscut. In addition, the performance of the crystal collimator can be drastically improved by the method [7] of the crystal cut.

The paper concerns the future LHC crystal based collimation system. The dependence of collimation efficiency on the muscut angle characterizing nonparallelity of the channeling planes and crystal surface is mainly addressed. We demonstrate that even the preferable positive miscut can increase the nuclear reaction rate in the perfectly aligned crystal collimator by a factor of 4.5 in the UA9 experiment. We also discuss the possible miscut influence on the future LHC crystal collimation system suggesting simple estimates for the beam diffusion step, average impact parameter of particle collisions with the collimator and angular divergence of the colliding particle beam portion.
