Kicker magnet systems for injector synchrotrons

A kicker magnet is a device capable of producing a pulsed magnetic field for the purpose of deflecting charged particle beams out of their defined orbit. The kicker magnets at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) Laboratory are designed to transfer beam bunches from a series of three booster stages into a counter-rotating 20 TeV collider ring. The required kicker magnetic field is the result of factors such as bunch spacing, maximum allowable lost bunches, required angular deflection, and other characteristics of synchrotron operation. An overview of the injection synchrotron kicker magnet systems to be used in the SSC is presented. System design includes magnet and modulator design for each of the kicker systems addressed. Design issues for each subsystem are presented, including magnet geometry, magnetic material selection, feed topologies, switch selection, and other key considerations. An overview of system requirements, as well as a brief statement of design status, is also presented. 4 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
