| Abstract | A charge booster unit is required as part of an upgrade to the ISAC facility at TRIUMF. ISAC is an isotope separator coupled to an accelerator. ISAC is presently capable of accelerating only isotopes with atomic mass up to 30. The charge booster will allow ISAC to accelerate all the masses in the periodic table. A fast kicker system has been built to study the characteristics of an existing charge booster, designed by ISN in Grenoble, to assess the suitability of using this charge booster at TRIUMF. This fast kicker will subsequently be used in the TRIUMF ISAC facility for time of flight separation of the chosen charge and to recycle the higher and lower charges back to the charge booster. This will increase the efficiency from 10% to 60%. The kicker system includes a pair of deflector plates. One plate is charged up to -3.5 kV by a FET based modulator, while the other plate is held at ground potential. The modulator consists of two stacks of FETs operating in push pull with variable output voltage, pulse width, and repetition rate from virtually DC to 52 kHz. The measured high voltage output pulse rise and fall times are 63 ns and the minimum pulse width is 350 ns. The maximum pulse width is dependent upon the repetition rate. The large dynamic range for the repetition rate and pulse width required a novel circuit design and control technique, which also resulted in an energy efficient kicker system. This paper describes the design of the kicker system and shows the results of measurements. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
