Abstract
The paper describes the resonant magnet network and power supplies of the 4 GeV electron synchrotron Nina, now under construction at the Daresbury Nuclear Physics Laboratory, Cheshire. The requirements of high accuracy and uniformity in the magnetic guide field pose special problems in magnet-network arrangements, excitation methods and control, and these aspects of the accelerator design are discussed in some detail.Special emphasis is given to (a) the dynamic behaviour of the distributed resonant magnet network and its effects on the energy-storage-choke design, (b) the transient characteristics of the pulse power supply and (c) the part played by model and analogue-computer studies during the design stages.Keywords
