In this work we investigate the rainbows appearing in channeling of 1 GeV protons through the long (11, 9) single-wall carbon nanotubes. The nanotube length is varied from 10 to 500 micrometers. The angular distributions of channeled protons are computed using the numerical solution of the proton eq...
