The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) accelerator of the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source-I (IPNS-I) at Argonne National Laboratory utilizes a fast kicker magnet to provide single-turn extraction for a 500 Mev proton beam at a 30 Hz rate. The single-turn, 0.89 m long ferrite magnet is broken up into two identical cells with four individual windings. Each winding requires a 4863 A magnetizing current into a 7.0 /OMEGA/ load with a rise time of less than 100 ns and a flattop of about 140 ns. Pulse forming network (PFN) charging and switching techniques along with the components used are described. 1 ref.
