Abstract

This kicker functions to inject 6 batches of 8 GeV beam vertically into the Fermilab Main Injector from the Booster. The trajectory of this beam must be bent 1.05 mr to place it onto equilibrium orbit. This kicker system produces a nominal integrated field kick of 0.309 kG-m. Specifications require a 1.6 microsecond pulse with a 50 ns risetime (1%-99%) and a 150 ns falltime (99%-5%). The system is comprised of three magnets and power supplies. Each is composed of a resonant charger, a 25 Ω PFL, a thyratron-based pulsed power supply, a ferrite “C” magnet, and a Fluorinert^TM-cooled resistive load. Design details and measurements are presented
