ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE BEVATRON RAPID BEAM EJECTOR (BEAM KICKER)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4257129
A rapid beam ejector was constructed to produce the brief pulses of particles required for optimum bubble chamber photographs. Energy stored in a capacitor bark was transferred to an air-core magnet surrounding the proton beam of the Bevatron. The protons were displaced from their normal orbit and strike a suitably located target; particles from this target can then emerge from the Bevatron. A capacitor bank of 120 ic f stores 13,500 joules at 15,000 volts. Two ignitrons in parallel connect the capacitor to the magnet. The magnet current rises to 52,000 amperes in 55 ic sec, at peak current a resistor is connected in parallel to damp the current decay. (auth)
