Electrostatic Kicker for the rebuild M9A Surface Muon Beam Line for TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada
Project start 2008. Project completion 2009.
TRIUMF is currently rebuilding its M9A Beamline. The new M9A is surface muon beam line for MµSR (Muon Spin Rotation) studies. For the upgrade Danfysik delivers a fast electrostatic kicker. The kicker will in its energized state impose an electric field of 2.5 kV/cm over a 10 cm gap between the electrodes causing a muon beam of momentum 29.5 MeV/c to deflect. The primary design goal of this device is to minimize the overall turn on time from the trigger (i.e. the leading edge of the control pulse at the modulator) to the point of achieving 90% of the nominal high voltage (HV) required on the electrostatic plates.
The kicker system delivery consists of a vacuum tank with electrostatic plates and a high voltage pulse generator.
