LOW ENERGY BOOSTER EXTRACTION KICKER PROTOTYPE MODULATOR

The low energy booster (LEB) is used to accelerate a proton beam from 1.2 GeV/c to 12 GeV/c at the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL). Fast kicker magnets are used to extract this beam which will be accelerated by other boosters. The nominal J B . ~ L required for extraction is 600 G-m. The pulse width is 2.5 ps, at a P W of 10 Hz. The rise time requirement of the field in the magnet is from MI% to 100+1% in 80 ns. The flat top requirement is that the integrated AEVB shall not exceed +1% for the length of the pulse.
