Results of bent crystal channeling and collimation at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Bent crystal channeling has been observed with protons and fully stripped gold ions in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Prior to 2003, a bent crystal was installed in one ring of RHIC as the first stage of a two stage collimation system. The observed channeling efficiency was approximatel...
