TI - A Pinger Magnet System for the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - A pinger magnet system consisting of two short kickers, one for each transversal plane, has been recently commissioned at the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source. The kickers can excite large betatron oscillations on the electron beam in order to probe the linear and non-linear beam dynamics regime together with the turn-by turn capabilities of the BPMs. The kickers are mounted in a single Ti coated ceramic vacuum chamber, have a length of 0.3 m each and provide a half sine pulse with a pulse length of 1 μs at an amplitude of 1.4 mrad and the pulser unit is based on solid state technology. This report summarises the steps followed from its design until its installation, electric and magnetic characterisation in the laboratory, and the first results with beam.
