Test Fast Kicker Pulser
Abstract
In this paper, a test pulser of the Brookhaven AGS Booster extraction fast kicker is described. The pulser is projected for both proton and heavy ion operation. A load of total inductance 2.15muH is used for the test pulser. The PFN voltage is required to be below 40kV for operation in air. Rise time of the pulse for proton extraction operation is about 120ns up to 97% of full current (1000A ), and, for heavy ion extraction, 160ns up to 98% of full current (1615A ). R-C compensation networks are used for pulse front edge sharpening. The flexibility of operation is obtained basically by switching an energy dumping resistor to match or mismatch the PFN impedance. Some comments on stray capacitance and stray inductance effects are included.
