The North Port Target Facility proposal includes a 100 MeV beam line to be is built at the LANSCE accelerator. In developing cost and schedule estimates for the proposal the greatest uncertainties are associated with the kicker magnet that is needed to divert portions of the beam into the new beam line. This magnet must fit into a rigidly defined space within the transition region of the existing accelerator and must operate in synchrony with the current accelerator operations systems, In addition, it must not degrade the beam qualify when beam is directed to other areas of the complex. Because of these constraints the magnet must be specifically designed and built for this intended application. We have produced conceptual designs of a kicker-magnet and power supply that will meet all of the design requirements. The power supply design is based on a working design for the RIKI kicker magnet that switches 800 MeV beam into the PSR. This report presents the kicker-magnet and power-supply designs and cost and schedule estimates for incorporation into the EP facility proposal. The feasibility of various design alternatives are briefly discussed.
