Description:
Novel Device and Instrumentation Development for Project-X[1]: Grant applications are sought for beam deflecting devices that can be used to remove or deflect proton or ion bunches for the purpose of forming variable bunch patterns in high intensity proton accelerators (see also Deflecting Cavities in next topic).
Specific areas of interest include:
1) Deflecting structures capable of removing individual bunches within a beam from a ~2 MeV CW source, and with a 162.5 MHz bunch structure; specifically with capabilities of providing arbitrary chopping patterns based on selective removal of bunches spaced at 6 nsec; and
2) Driver concepts, either amplifier or switch based, suitable for driving such deflectors with several 100 volts into impedances of 50 or 200 Ohms.
Fast Beam Kicker: Grant applications are sought for a fast beam kicker with 50 ns rise time and 150 kV total transverse kick.
