Abstract

The kicker magnet for extracting beam out of the Low Energy Booster is required to generate an integrated field of 0.06 T-m for 2 μs, rising from 1% to 99% of peak in <80 ns. Technologies for pulsed magnets of this variety, along with the engineering tradeoffs of each, will be presented. Details of the electrical design of a vacuum-insulated 25-Ω travelling-wave (TW) kicker magnet, with a 5×7 cm ferrite aperture, will be discussed. The results of low-voltage tests of the prototype TW magnet and a solid-core design will also be presented. Application of experimental data and design theory to the final magnet design will be mentioned
