Title: Low-coupling impedance double-helix structure for use in a ferrite kicker magnet

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6442275

In a machine such as the CBA, the ejection ferrite kicker magnet has a very large longitudinal and transverse coupling impedance which could destroy the beam. Using a double-helix structure that surrounds the beam, the beam-induced fields are confined within the helix and, therefore, decoupled from the kicker; but at the same time the helix is transparent to the external fields of the kicker. At first, this may seem paradoxical that the helix is opaque to the fields generated inside the structure by the beam and simultaneously transparent to the external fields generated by the kicker.
