Abstract :
The SLC (SLAC Linear Collider) ring kicker magnets require a fast magnetic field rise time of 58 nsec, a peak field of 800 gauss, a pulse amplitude stability of 0.01%, and a reasonable operational lifetime. The original kicker magnets designed by SLAC and at Fermi were not able to fulfil the SLC kicker requirements. Extensive studies were conducted to determine the limitations in the magnets, response of the ferrite in the kicker magnet, and the modifications needed to improve the kicker magnet performance. The basic physics of ferrite kickers, the magnet types, the ferrite material, the stray fields, and field compression are discussed in the context of the SLAC and Fermi kicker magnet limitations of performance.<>
