New Possibilities for Applying Bent Crystals in Modern Accelerators

The article presents new applications of bent crystals in accelerator science, which can stimulate new experiments in high-energy physics: particle channels of new type made for positive secondary particles and production of high-energy neutrino beams and a crystalline muon collider. Proposals were formulated for the use of crystals in large hadron colliders, which were confirmed by experimental studies both at CERN accelerators and at the domestic U-70 accelerator.
