Mitigating beam losses is the central challenge in slow extraction, and it is becoming increasingly critical as beam power continues to rise. A highly promising mitigation technique—proton beam channeling in a crystal—has been successfully demonstrated at the CERN SPS using 400 GeV beams, effectively steering the beam away from the extraction septa. There is strong interest in evaluating the benefits of this method at much lower energies. In this work, we present simulation results and experimental studies on the use of crystal shadowing for slow extraction of 8 GeV proton beams in the Fermilab Delivery Ring.

Currently works as a Specialized Scientist at CLPU (Centro de Láseres Pulsados). His research focuses on laser-plasma wakefield acceleration, particularly capillary discharge dynamics, plasma channel formation, and MHD simulations for high-gradient acceleration. His background is in accelerator physics, RF systems, and plasma-based acceleration. He has been extensively working on high-gradient accelerating structures, wakefield and impedance modeling (including contributions to FCC-ee), and the design of RF devices such as klystrons and linacs. His expertise is in electromagnetic and beam dynamics simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, and ECHO3D. He has been involved in several international projects, including CompactLight, EuPRAXIA, FCC, and INFN DataCloud.
