High-energy ions' movement affected by silicon crystal periodicity

High-energy ions' movement affected by silicon crystal periodicity The thinner the silicon crystal, the easier it is to manipulate the trajectories of very high-energy ions in particle accelerators. Further applications include materials analysis, semiconductor doping and beam transport in large particle accelerators. All of these rely on our understanding of how positively-charged high-energy particles move through crystals. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
