Kicker generators

A kicker system of a particle accelerator deflects the particle beam. The system contains of a kicker magnet and a pulsed-power generator (kicker generator). Together, they produce a very short, high-amplitude magnetic field, that deflects the particle beam.
Precise timing, fast rise time and high pulse quality are the key elements for any beam deflection like injection or extraction.

Kicker generators must be carefully engineered to accommodate the diverse requirements of modern particle accelerator configurations. Critical design parameters include ultra-fast rise and fall times, precise pulse durations, and stable flat-top pulse profiles. With decades of expertise in high-voltage pulsed-power systems, Montena is the ideal partner to develop a custom kicker generator tailored to your accelerator needs.
