We present a detailed analysis of the beam loss data collected at the SPS during the 2009 machine developments devoted to test crystal collimation. Scintillator counters and Gas electron multiplier detectors were installed in special points to detect the effect of inelastic interaction of protons with the crystals in various orientation with respect to the beam. Clear correlations of the counting rates with the crystal positions and orientation were detected during the data-taking and were crucial to put the crystal in optimal channeling position. For one of the crystal the pattern of losses showed evidence of several planar and axial channeling conditions. |
