Abstract

An upgrade program for increasing the stored beam current in the proton storage ring is presently under way. A part of the upgrade is the design and installation of a four-magnet beam-bumping system used for phase-space painting and minimizing interaction of the stored beam with the injection stripper foil. This paper describes the bump-magnet system including the relevant beam requirements, magnet specifications, power-cable specifications, pulsed-modulator requirements, and beam-tube eddy-current effects. The magnets are ferrite window-frame magnets with saddle windings. Series-pass pulsed modulators are programmable both in rise and fall time as well as amplitude. The peak current can be varied between 50 and 300 A. Pulsed-current rise-time is fixed at 1 ms, and the linear fall-time during which the beam is injected into the ring can be varied between 0.5 and 1.5 ms
