Design, Development, Construction and Installation of a Ceramic Chamber for a Pulsed Kicker at LNLS Storage Ring

Following the upgrade of the LNLS injector system with the addition of a 500 MeV booster synchrotron, the storage ring in vacuum ferrite injection kicker magnets started to show overheating due the interaction with high frequency electromagnetic fields induced by the electron beam in large currents. In this paper, we describe the design of a new ceramic chamber for the kickers, which minimize this effect by decreasing the coupling impedance of the kickers and their interaction with the electron beam.
