Abstract:
A very strong and dramatic bending effect has been found for 12 GeV/c positive particles channeled along crystal axes and planes. For a combination of axial and planar channeling the bending efficiency is 5–10%. The maximum bending angle was 52 mrad obtained over a 20 mm long 〈111〉 Si-crystal. The axial channeling is also able to bend negative particles.
