A novel type of forward coupler slotted stripline pickup electrode for non-relativistic particle beams

A novel type of slotted or perforated strip-line pick-up or kicker electrode structure for non relativistic particle beams with b=v/c values around 0.7 is presented. This slotted structure is to be used as a forward coupler with the output signal taken from the downstream end and has a rather large relative bandwidth of several octaves. Possible applications are stochastic cooling systems e.g. for ions beams in the momentum range mentioned above. This electrode may also be used for Schottky diagnostics.
