Design and R&D on TEM-based Kicker Systems at SLAC
Krasnykh, Anatoly.
SLAC National Accelerator Lab is a multipurpose laboratory today based on operations of two main facilities and one facility for accelerator technology R&D. They are accordingly SSRL synchrotron light source, LCLS x-ray FEL, and (future) FACET-II (Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests). The injection and extraction systems for beams are needed in all mentioned above facilities and they are continuing to be developed according to the SLAC facilities evolution and updates. Our note...

SLAC National Accelerator Lab is a multipurpose laboratory today based on operations of two main facilities and one facility for accelerator technology R&D. They are accordingly SSRL synchrotron light source, LCLS x-ray FEL, and (future) FACET-II (Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests). The injection and extraction systems for beams are needed in all mentioned above facilities and they are continuing to be developed according to the SLAC facilities evolution and updates. Our note will review the results of our past and present experience on the TEM-mode kickers. We will discuss features for the advanced kicker structure proposed at SLAC in 2002. The proposed kicker concept was updated from different aspects including a cost effective manufacturability. A part of this R&D is linked with the study of high power bunch-by-bunch feedback kickers with the goal to develop a fully functional vacuum compatible structure to be installed in SuperKEKB facility. Engineering aspects of multi MW peak power pulsers with pulse rise/fall/top in nanosecond ranges will be discussed too. R&D experimental results on the different pulser schemes and layouts and their performances will be presented too. A part of this R&D work is linked with the study of the LCLS-II beam line with a distribution closely spaced bunches to multiple undulators to take advantage of combining different colored x-rays. A development of the pulser critical components is based on a collaborative link with our national industrial partner (VMI, Visalia, CA). Show Partial Abstract
