Abstract :
The Maxwell Laboratories Inc., Model 1.2-400 electron storage ring, which is being built for the LSU Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices, is a 1 .2-GeV synchrotron which has a 200-MeV linac for injection of electrons into the storage ring. The injector section for merging the linac beam with the storage ring beam has four kicker magnets for altering the course of the stored beam and a thin septum magnet for steering the linac beam. A detailed discussion of the electrical requirements for the fast power supplies for powering the magnets, of the circuits used to meet the requirements, and of a comparison of the theoretical and actual data is presented.<>
