Description

The contemporary advancement in particle accelerator technology necessitates precise control over beam manipulation for various experimental and industrial applications. One pivotal aspect of this control resides in the generation and modulation of high-voltage pulse to manipulate the trajectory and behavior of particle beams within the accelerator systems. This extensive study delves into the design, development, and characterization of an adjustable-length pulse generator specifically tailored for a beam extraction kicker system, which is employed to navigate the beam out of the photon storage ring. The primary aim of this research is to engineer a versatile and reliable pulse-length modulation mechanism for a high-voltage pulse generation, which is capable of producing adjustable pulses with ultra-fine precision to meet the demanding requirements of beam manipulation within the accelerator setup. The system's design encompasses a meticulous integration of electronic components, waveform shaping modules, and control mechanisms to achieve the desired output.
