Planned and unplanned thyratron pre-fire triggered beam dumps have been observed in the yellow ring that were associated with quenches of the superconducting main ring magnets as the proton intensities increased in the FY1013 run. The increasing vacuum level indicated beam induced kicker ferrite heating causing lower magnetic kick field at a nominal pulse current. In anticipation of higher current and shorter bunches in FY2015 an accelerator improvement program was initiated to reduce the longitudinal coupling impedance with changes to the eddy-current strip geometry using Opera simulations and to change the CMD5005 to CMD10 ferrite. Results of the standard impedance measurements and of pulse current in heating tests to 170 °C are reported. All 10 dump kickers are being modified and are encapsulated with a cooling system for installation in the rings. |
