The TWOCRYST experiment

TWOCRYST is a proof-of-principle project at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It leverages the use of one short crystal to extract secondary particle halo and a long crystal to induce magnetic precession in charmed particles, which constitute the target particles of the setup. The installation in Insertion Region 3 (IR3) has been completed during the year-end techincal stop (YETS) 2024/2025. It is intended to be operational in machine development (MD) studies during 2025. The success of this project would be an important step towords realising double-crystal based experiments in the future.
