Research and Development of Rhic Injection Kicker Upgrade with Nano Second Fid Pulse Generator*

چکیده
Our recent effort to test a 50 kV, 1 kA, 50 ns pulse width, 10 ns pulse rise time FID pulse generator with a 250 ft transmission cable, resistive load, and existing RHIC injection kicker magnet has produced unparalleled results. This is the very first attempt to drive a high strength fast kicker magnet with a nano second high pulsed power (50 MVA) generator for large accelerator and colliders. The technology is impressive. We report here the result and future plan of RHIC Injection kicker upgrade.

The RHIC Tune Measurement System
Each of the four fractional betatron tunes of RHIC (two planes, two rings) is measured with a transverse beam kicker and dedicated beam position monitor (BPM). A 15kV pulse is generated by a fast FET switch, passed through a stripline kicker, attenuated, and returned to the instrumentation control room (ICR) for monitoring. When pulsed at 3kV, the four-meter long kicker gives a gold beam at inj...
متن کاملRHIC Injection Kicker Impedance
The RHIC injection kicker is a pulsed transmission line kicker, consisting of 15 ferrite sections and 14 ceramic sections. The length of the kicker is 1.1 m and there are 4 such units in each ring. Figure 1 shows the kicker cross section with the outer conductor, C-shaped ferrite, inner conductor and the ceramic beam pipe [1]. The design characteristic impedance of the transmission line kicker ...

متن کاملThe Rhic Beam Abort Kicker System*
The energy stored in the RHIC beam is about 200 kJ per ring at design energy and intensity. To prevent quenching of the superconducting magnets or material damage, the beam will be safely disposed of by an internal beam abort system, which includes the kicker magnets, the pulsed power supplies, and the dump absorber. Disposal of heavy ions, such as gold, imposes design constraints more severe t...
متن کاملPseudospark 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 ...
