Abstract

Linac4 is an H^- ion linear accelerator, intended to replace Linac2 as injector to the PS Booster (PSB). In order to distribute the 160 MeV beam from Linac4 to the four rings of the PSB, new distributor magnets (BI.DIS) and magnetic septa (BI.SMV) need to be built. The proposed distribution scheme requires the construction of five new pulse generators, of Pulse Forming Network (PFN) type, to double the magnitude of the BI.DIS field pulse and to increase the maximum duration of the pulse from 140 μs to 620 μs.
