3kG kicker magnet system for the tevatron beam abort system

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5140955
A report is presented on the design of the prototype kicker magnet system to be used in the abort channel of the Tevatron at Fermilab. The magnet has a peak field of 3kG, a 10-90% rise time of 1.5/mu/s, and the field is greater than 90% of peak for 21/mu/sec. The kicker magnetic energy is stored in a capacitor and resonantly discharged into the magnet inductance. When the magnet is completely charged a thyratron-ignitron combination is used to clip the recharge of the capacitor and circulate the current in the magnet. 7 refs.
