Physical and Structural Design of Fast Extraction Kickers for CSNS/RCS

Abstract

China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high intensity beam facility being built now in China. Three kicker assemblies, eight pulsed magnets, will be used in the CSNS rapid circle synchrotron (RCS). The physical and structural designs of eight kicker magnets that are grouped in 5 different types are presented. The results of OPERA-3D simulation show that magnet center field integral meet the physics requirements of design by choosing a suitable magnet coil structure. Field uniformity for 60% width is +/-0.7%. The ferrite magnet structure and composition is introduced, and the high voltage feedthrough design, the installation of six magnets in long vacuum cavity design is discussed.
