Description
The KEK injector linac injects high-charge electron and positron beams into the high-energy-ring and low-energy-ring of SuperKEKB respectively.
The linac also injects electron beams to the two light source rings, PF ring and PF-AR. We operate simultaneous top-up injections into the four rings by using many pulsed magnets. We have been upgrading the linac to attain the higher-quality beam injections for the SuperKEKB rings.
In the summer of 2023, large-aperture quadrupole pulsed magnets have been newly installed upstream of the linac and driven by new large-current pulse driver.
The power of the new pulse driver is 600 A 400 V and is energy recovery type. We achieve high efficiency with simple pulse width control. I would like to introduce this high-power, high-efficiency pulse driver.
