Pseudospark Switch Development for the LHC Extraction Kicker Pulse Generator
CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, has started construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a superconducting accelerator that will collide protons at a center of mass energy of 14 TeV from the year 2005 onwards. The kicker magnet pulse generators of the LHC beam extraction system require fast high power switches. One possible type is the pseudospark switch (PSS) which has ...
متن کاملMagnetically Delayed Pseudospark Switch
We have investigated the properties of a magnetically delayed pseudospark switch (PSS). One of the challenges of all low pressure gas discharge switches is the reduction of the lifetime due to commutation losses resulting in anode heating. This effect can be minimized by carefully dimensioning the saturating inductors. For many decades, this method has been successfully used for thyratrons. In ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Multigap-Pseudospark Switch for the PFN of the SIS100/300 Kicker Magnet Pulse Generator
In Erlangen multigap Pseudospark switches are under development to meet the requirements of the pulse forming network (PFN) for the SIS100/300 kicker magnets which are: hold-off voltage > 70 kV, peak current of ~ 6 kA and pulse duration of up to 6 μs. In the final phase of development a three-gap switch will be used. As reliable triggering is a key problem, different trigger methods were invest...
متن کاملPseudospark Switches (pss) for Pulsed Power Applications
Basing on the pseudospark discharge, a low pressure gas discharge in a special geometry, fast closing switches for different pulsed power applications have been designed. Medium power PSS (< 30 kA peak current) were used in laser circuits whereas high current PSS are tested successfully in high current pulsed power applications (< 200 kA). For currents of a few kA the discharge is supported by ...
متن کاملDevelopment of High Power X-Band Semiconductor RF Switch for Pulse Compression Systems of Future Linear Colliders
We describe development of semiconductor X-band high-power RF switches. The target applications are high-power RF pulse compression systems for future linear colliders. We describe the design methodology of the architecture of the whole switch systems. We present the scaling law that governs the relation between power handling capability and number of elements. We designed and built several act...
