Abstract

The extraction of a small flux of primary protons from a collider in a parasitic manner is very attractive for a number of fixed target applications. The key requirements of the extracted beam are small average currents with relatively small temporal variations. At this time a bent crystal is installed in the Tevatron Collider which is designed to channel protons down an instrumented beam abort transfer line. In this paper the results of experiments with this crystal are presented. The impact on the high energy physics collider detectors of the crystal as a collimator and the transverse mechanism necessary to deposit the protons into the crystal for alignment purposes are described
