A new PSS kicker has been designed for operation at 200 keV.
- Requirements for PSS kicker for 200 keV upgrade
With regard to the kicker requirements document (see p.3-4): The beam will be deflected by the PSS kicker magnet onto the "A2" mask. The A2 mask has three circular apertures of diameters 4,6,8 mm respectively The maximum radius of the three apertures is a=4 mm The proposed distance between the kicker and A2 mask is : ~ 12" ~ 30 cm The nominal beam energy is 200 keV Can the present PSS kicker coils be upgraded to satisfy these requirements?

- Description from Jerry
Currently spool is less than 50% filled. Obviously there is more than that needed. Based on the available documentation, the supply voltage is 12VDC. Maximum current output of the driver circuit is limited to 200mA. It is either supplied to single coil during kick or split between bias and kicker coils when not kicked (tripped). My understanding is that on each spool there are two identical windings with opposite polarization (current flows in opposite direction). Therefore, when both are powered with the same current (they share 200mA, each receiving 100mA) they cancel each other. During the kick only one of these windings is powered with all 200mA of current, producing strong magnetic field (kick).
