Generation of high current, long duration rectangular pulses

The excitation of the fast pulsed kicker magnets foreseen for the CERN 400 GeV proton synchrotron requires rectangular pulses with a current amplitude of 3000 A to 10000 A, a pulse duration adjustable between 1 and 24 mu sec, and short rise and fall times. These pulses are generated by a LC ladder n...

description The excitation of the fast pulsed kicker magnets foreseen for the CERN 400 GeV proton synchrotron requires rectangular pulses with a current amplitude of 3000 A to 10000 A, a pulse duration adjustable between 1 and 24 mu sec, and short rise and fall times. These pulses are generated by a LC ladder network discharged with fast switches. Several kinds of switches have been tested: multigap thyratrons of standard design, a composite switch called 'thyragnitron' and made of a normal thyratron by-passed ignitrons, and finally special thyratrons with a second cathode assembly in place of the usual anode. Experimental pulse shapes and results of life tests for these different switches are presented and discussed. (8 refs).
