The limits of volume reflection in bent crystals
arXiv:0908.1706 · doi:10.1016/j.nimb.2009.04.013
Abstract
We show that theory predictions for volume reflection in bent crystals agree with recent experimental data. This makes possible to predict volume reflection angle and efficiency in a broad range of energy for various crystals. A simple formula is proposed for volume reflection efficiency. We derive the physical limits for application of crystal reflection at high-energy accelerators where it may help beam collimation.
