Present status of flux concentrator modulator for SuperKEKB

  • 1. High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

We have developed a modulator for the SuperKEKB positron source flux concentrator, which requires 12 kA in a sinusoidal half wave current for a pulse magnet with an inductance of 1 μH. The modulator has two thyratron switches and a current pulse of 12 kA with a width of 8 μs has been successfully generated at 50 Hz. We have a plan to develop a solid-state switch to replace the thyratrons, which improves the reliability and maintainability of the modulator. (author)
