TI - Design, Construction and Testing of a Magnetic Probe for Fast Kicker Magnets J2 - Proc. of IPAC2021, Campinas, SP, Brazil, 24-28 May 2021 CY - Campinas, SP, Brazil T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 12 LA - english AB - The CERN PS injection kicker has been modified in the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project to allow injecting proton beams with an energy of 2 GeV. One of the most important items of the system parameter validation is the measurement and analysis of the magnetic field in the magnet aperture. To meet the required measurement precision without compromising the magnet vacuum performance, a dedicated magnetic probe has been designed, constructed and tested. The results are presented in this paper highlighting the mitigations of electrical, mechanical and vacuum complications. The paper concludes with an analysis of the probe performance during the first magnetic field measurements in the laboratory.
