Precision fast kickers for kiloampere electron beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
These kickers will be used to make fast dipoles and quadrupoles which are driven by sharp risetime pulsers to provide precision beam manipulation for high current kA electron beams. This technology will be used on the 2 axis of the DARHT linac at LANL. It will be used to provide 4 micropulses of pulse width up to 120 nsec. selected from a 2 μsec., 2kA, 20MeV macropulse. The fast pulsers will have amplitude modulation capability [1][2] to compensate for beam-induced steering effects [3] and other slow beam centroid motion to within the bandwidth of the kicker system [4]. Scaling laws derived from theory will be presented along with extensive experimental data obtained on the test bed ETA-II [5].

متن کاملKiloampere and Microsecond Electron Beams from Ferroelectric Cathodes
We report experimental results of the operation of two ferroelectric cathodes of relatively large size. The first cathode had a diameter of 10.2 cm and was built in the Pierce cathode geometry by Integrated Applied Physics (IAP). It achieved emission currents of up to 1.2 kA (15.3 A/cm 2) at voltages upto 100 kV, in 150 ns pulses. The second cathode had an annular shape with a diameter of 11.4 ...
متن کاملBeam Coupling Impedance of Fast Stripline Kickers
A fast stripline beam kicker is used to dynamically switch a high current electron beam between two beamlines. The transverse dipole impedance of a stripline beam kicker has been previously determined from a simple transmission line model of the structure [1]. This model did not include effects due to the long axial slots along the structure as well as the cavities and coaxial feed transition s...
متن کاملSupplementary Damping Systems for the International Linear Collider
Indispensable subsystems of the International Linear Collider (ILC) will be the damping rings, which will shrink the emittances of the electron and positron beams. This idea was first proposed by Amaldi [1]. Once the beams enter their respective main linacs, the ultra low emittances should already have been achieved in the damping rings, where the equilibrium emittances are determined by the ba...
متن کاملAperture and Delivery Precision of the Lhc Injection System
The main LHC injection elements in interaction regions 2 and 8 comprise the injection septa (MSI), the injection kickers (MKI), together with three families of passive protection devices (TDI, TCDD and TCLI). The apertures of the two circulating beams are detailed for these elements, together with a summary of recent design modifications. The errors in the SPS, the transfer lines and the inject...
