Silicon crystals can channel protons between two crystal planes and give them a bigger kick than a carbon primary collimators. They are studied for LHC collimation and prototypes have been developed and tested.
Crystal studies are featured regularly on the ColUSM:
| ColUSM #28 |
| ColUSM #23 |
| ColUSM #20 |
| ColUSM #16 |
| ColUSM #12 |
