Title: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FAST BEAM CHOPPER FOR NEXT GENERATION HIGH POWER PROTON DRIVERS
Abstract: The Front End Test Stand (FETS) project at RAL will test a fast beam chopper, designed to address the requirements of high-power proton drivers for next generation pulsed spallation sources and neutrino factories. The RAL chopping scheme for the ESS 2.5 MeV, 280 MHz, Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line [1] is evolving to address the requirements of the 3.0 MeV, 324 MHz FETS project. The recent adoption of a more efficient optical design for the FETS MEBT [2] will result in a useful increase in beam aperture and permit an important reduction in the amplitude of the chopper E-fields. A description is given of 'state of the art' high voltage pulse generators, designed to address the FETS chopper requirement. Measurements of output waveform and timing stability are presented.
