Description

The CREMA project investigates channeling for low energy carbon ions interacting with bent crystals in
the hundreds MeV/u energy range. The experimental setup to assess the process efficiency will be operated
in the experimental area (XPR) of the CNAO accelerator complex in Pavia (Italy). The project's aim consists on
optimising a bent crystal that could be installed at a later stage in a medical synchrotron to complement
or replace the electrostatic extraction septum for beam extraction. The proposed layout and calibration measurements on the CNAO beam will be presented, as well as simulations that confirm the feasibility of the channeling tests.
