"Development of High-Field and Fast-Rise Kicker Magnet System" (KAKENHI 21540310)

Thanks a lot for collaboration !

This study supported by KAKENHI has been finalized, but I will continue to improve and break the records.

    *** Hyper Kicker System ***

    Records Now:
  • Fast rise : 100 ns (97%) at 0.12 T; 120 ns (97%) at 0.22 Tesla.
  • High field : 0.68 Tesla in 0.9 us (97%).
  • High Repetition : Stable results were obtained at 25pps(CW) for a practical magnet; 50pps(CW) and 1Kpps(burst) for a model magnet.
