Abstract

A cost effective injection kicker has been developed for the electron storage ring at Duke. Magnet components and driver circuitry are integrated in a modular format that has resulted in a low cost, highly maintainable and upgradeable development system. The driver and magnet can be easily reconfigured from a simple LRC circuit (parallel or series) that provides a pulse approximating a half sinusoid to one utilizing a pulse forming line to provide a more trapezoidal pulse shape. The modular development platform has permitted the kicker to evolve with the storage ring in a way that minimizes further expenditures of time and materials
