Conceptual design study of horn power supply

A 250 pulsed power supply is required for the focusing horn of the proposed Brookhaven AGS super neutrino beam facility for long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. It is expected to pulse at 2.5 Hz repetition rate. A preliminary study is being conducted to explore the key issues associated with the power supply system design. Advanced technologies used in similar systems as well as new ideas are being examined, simulated and evaluated. This power supply will be a very high stored energy, high average power, and high peak power system.
