Septum and kicker pulsers for the LNLS 500-MeV booster synchrotron

Brazilian National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) has commissioned its new 500-MeV booster synchrotron injector. In this paper we present an overview of the septum and kicker pulse circuits now in operation. Half-sine wave septum current pulses range from 6.1 kA to 7.3 kA with widths around 80...

Description
Summary:Brazilian National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) has commissioned its new 500-MeV booster synchrotron injector. In this paper we present an overview of the septum and kicker pulse circuits now in operation. Half-sine wave septum current pulses range from 6.1 kA to 7.3 kA with widths around 80 /spl mu/s. Injection and extraction kicker circuits are capable of delivering currents up to 650 A and 1.2 kA, with fall and rise times consistent with the booster revolution period of 112 ns.
