Single bunch kicker pulser

Description
The single bunch kicker magnet is powered by a capacitor discharge pulser. The ferrite core magnet is used to kick out one of twelve proton bunches circulating in the AGS (alternating gradient synchrotron) into the experimental area. The magnet current pulse has a half-sinusoid shape, with a peak current of 2800 a. The pulse current rises and falls to zero, with minumum undershoot, in 410 nsec to minimize effects on adjacent bunches. The magnet inductance is 1.0 μhy. The pulser is mounted on the kicker magnet in the AGS ring, and is exposed to ionizing radiation. The HVDC power supply, controls, monitoring, and auxiliary circuits are housed approximately 300 feet away external to the ring. A two-gap thyratron is used to discharge the energy storage capacitor. Two hydrogen diodes are series connected to function as an inverse diode
