Magnets & Pulsed Magnets

Magnets & Pulsed Magnets

The Magnets and Pulsed Magnets Operative Unit is in charge of the following tasks:
  • To develop and built pulsed power circuits, which drive the pulsed magnets, needed for the injection/extraction processes.
  • To develop the design of suitable pulsed magnets to be connected to the circuits mentioned above.
  • To run and maintain the power circuits of the Elettra injection system.

In the past the Unit has realised two main systems:

  • The Elettra storage ring injection system (1991 - 1993)
  • The Bessy 2 storage ring injection system (1995 - 1997)

The Injection system of Elettra

A long straight section of the storage ring has been dedicated for the installation of the injection system, which is composed by 4 Kickers and 2 Septa including all the equipment (vacuum and mechanics) needed to keep it in operation. The Kickers are identical magnets operating in air and placed symmetrically with respect to the center of the section; the Septa are again identical magnets, but they operate in vacuum.

Both power circuits are based on a capacitive discharge design; the kicker circuit adopts a resistive recovery, while that one of the septum an inductive recovery.

The characteristic parameters of the injection process can be summarised as follows.

General parameters Value
Beam injection energy 1 GeV
TL-SR angle 8.6 degr
Kicker bump (nominal) 18 mm
Pulse repetition rate 10 pps
Free space available within straight section 6 m

The papers, posters presented at various congresses and internal technical notes, written by the Unit are mainly related with the development of the Elettra injection system and with its subsequent installation and commissioning. They can be summarized as follows.
