A new single stage kicker magnet system is designed and is being fabricated for the RCS accelerator of the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS-I) at the Argonne National Laboratory. This system will replace the two stage kicker in present use. The magnet aperture is 10 cm wide by 5 cm high and the magnetic length is 0.89 m. The magnetic field intensity is 0.1021 T for a 25 milliradian kick to the 500 MeV proton beam. A field rise time (10 to 90%) of 80 ns and a flattop of 100 ns is needed. The magnetic field fall time is not critical so a lumped parameter magnet with a 7.2 ohm load will be used. The electric current required through the single turn magnet is 4863 A. A new energy storage and switching system is designed and is being fabricated for energizing the magnets. The techniques and hardware used will be described along with some of the experience gained in the use of the two stage system which will help to improve the new design.
