10Hz Slow Kicker Magnets with Pulsed Power Converters for ISIS 2nd Target Station at Rutherford, UK

Project start 2006. Project completion 2007.

The Extract Proton Beamline to the Second Target Station at the ISIS facility, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory include two 10Hz magnets to extract the beam from the present target beamline. Danfysik was awarded the contract to design and build these two kicker magnets with power supplies.

The Slow Kicker Magnets has been designed to achieve high stability and repeatability. The magnets are laminated window frame type with high requirement to magnetic field performance. The contract includes 3D magnetic field modelling and full magnetic field documentation.

The pulsed power converter design is based on a high voltage capacitor bank to drive up the current to the required level (450A for kicker 1 and 2800A for kicker 2) and a low voltage capacitor bank to achieve the flat top requirement for a minimum of 600 µS. The stored energy in the magnet is recovered back into the high voltage capacitor bank to reduce the power requirements.
