  1. FAST INJECTION KICKERS: TESTS AND OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE AT DAΦNE • PRESENTATION OUTLINE • Design of a stripline kicker for beam injection in DAFNE storage rings. • HV tests and RF measurements of the kicker. • DAFNE operation with the new kickers.

  2. 1. DESIGN OF THE NEW DAFNE INJECTION KICKER Input ports Elliptical cross section Strip ceramic supports HV feedthrough Output ports (LOAD) Tapered stripline BEAM

  3. Lk/2 LT • Theelliptical cross section: • Minimizes the discontinuity of the beam pipe cross section between the injection region and the adjacent dipole regions • Increases the deflection efficiency. • The tapered stripline: • Improves the uniformity of transverse deflection as a function of the transverse position • Reduces the contribution of the kicker to the machine impedance • improves the reflection coefficient at high frequency (short pulses) because of smoother transition between feedthrough coax line and stripline. Field flatness by integration 3%

  8. 3. DAFNE operation with the new kickers Final version of the 45 kV FID pulsers has shown poor reliability. At present only 1 pulser of 4 is good. FID GmbH repaired and updated several times the broken components but a reliable solution has not yet been found. We never had the possibility to operate with the 4 pulsers working together at the same time. We are now running with the old, long pulse system in both the rings. In e+ ring we have succesfully tested injection with a hybrid system connecting both the old pulser and the 45kV fast pulser to each kicker. New kickers installed in the DANE rings (Nov. 07) e+ IP e-

  10. DAFNE beam oscillations with fast kick Measured by the horizontal digital feedback system. 100, of 120, stored bunches with kicker pulse centered on bunch 50. bunch distance 2.7 ns.

  11. DAFNE beam oscillations with fast kick rms oscillation amplitude of 100 stored bunches with kicker pulse centered on bunch 50 Same plot with a scale in ns and amplified vertical scale Shows a tail of ~2% above noise level

  12. Experience with FID pulsers First results of operation with FID fast pulsers have been very promising. Routineoperation with 45kV FIDs not allowed because of their very poor reliability. After increasing ß function in the kicker region and changing the beam orbit in the septa, we tried successfully injection with a 24kV, 5ns FID. Pulse shape is the same of the 45kV FID, just lower voltage amplitude. We used this 24 kV FID for lab tests and never had problems up to now. We decided to give up the 45 kV FIDs and try to go on with the 24 kV units. It is possible to have eight 24kV pulsers at the cost of the four 45 kV FIDs. Enough for both the rings. The 24kV FID used for lab HV tests

  15. 20kV fast pulser 20kV fast pulser e- / e+ ring 20kV fast pulser 20kV fast pulser Longer term program An additional stripline kck will be installed in e+ ring for the horizontal fdbk. Operation with hybrid solution also possible. More flexible in case of failure of FID pulsers.

  16. CONCLUSIONS • The new DAFNEinjection kickers, installed one year ago,work welland are very versatile devices.Used with both FID and old DAFNE pulsers and even as a feedback kicker! • Reliability problems of the fast pulse generators by FID remain to be solved, we hope with the 24kV units.

  17. Mechanical drawing of the kicker ready. Fabrication starting soon. Kicker is made in stainless steel, 320 mm long. Feedthroughs are commercial available HN-type connectors (CERAMTEC).
