Abstract
A traveling-wave beam chopper has been designed to provide properly structured negative-ion beam to the Proton Storage Ring (PSR) and other LAMPF users. The chopper must provide a 20-mrad kick with pulse rise time - ions in the injector transport line. Variable pulse lengths from 15 ns to 750 μs at repetition rates up to 16.7 MHz must be generated in synchronization with the PSR circulation frequency. Parameter studies led to an optimized design combining good deflection efficiency and bandwidth with minimum deleterious effects from plate-to-plate coupling. Both positive and negative 600-V pulses, with lengths up to 1 ms and maximum 10% duty factor, can be generated to drive the deflectors.Keywords
