A Novel Type of Forward Coupler Slotted Stripline Pickup Electrode for CSRE Stochastic Cooling

A novel type of 2.76 m long slotted, or perforated, strip-line pick-up, or kicker electrode structure, for CSRe stochastic cooling of non-relativistic particle beams with β~ 0.7 is presented. It is installed inside a bending vacuum chamber with the output signal taken from the downstream end. This slotted structure features a sufficiently broad bandwidth, good beam coupling impedance, low losses and a comparatively easy mechanical construction and installation into the CSRe dipole chamber. In this paper the electrode structure and pickup tank, as well as the beam test results will be presented.
