TI - Fermilab Linac Laser Notcher 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 - Synchrotrons or storage rings require a small section of their circumference devoid of any beam (i.e. a “notch”) to allow for the rise time of an extraction kicker device. In multi-turn injection schemes, this notch in the beam may be generated either in the linac pulse prior to injection or in the accelerator itself after injection. In the case of the Fermilab Booster, the notch is created in the ring near injection energy by the use of fast kickers, thus depositing the beam in a shielded collimation region within the accelerator tunnel. With increasing beam powers, it is desirable to create this notch at the lowest possible energy to minimize activation. Fermilab has undertaken an R&D project to build a laser system to create the notch within a linac beam pulse, immediately after the RFQ at 750 keV, where activation issues are negligible. We will describe the concept for the laser notcher and discuss our current status and future plans for installation of the device.
