Modulation of nuclear interactions using channeling at multi-hundred GeV energies

Channeling of protons and positive and negative pions has been observed in a single crystal of germanium at beam momenta of 35, 100 and 250 GeV/c. Both energy loss and scattering have been measured. The channeling effects agree with observations at lower energies suitably scaled to these high energies. The suppression of inelastic nuclear interactions has been directly observed by monitoring multiple-track events.
