Kicker pulsers for recycler NOVA upgrades
Chris. C. Jensen (Fermilab)

TL;DR
This paper details the development and improvements of a fast-rise-time thyratron pulser for the Recycler injection kicker system, achieving specified timing and field flatness requirements.
Contribution
It introduces a series of enhancements to the thyratron pulser, optimizing trigger, reservoir, and load impedance to meet stringent timing specifications.
Findings
Achieved rise time of less than 57 ns
Optimized trigger and reservoir settings for better performance
Enhanced load impedance handling for consistent operation
Abstract
An upgrade of the Recycler injection kicker system required a faster rise time pulser. This system required a field rise and fall time of < 57 ns and a field flattop of 1.6 {\mu}s. This paper describes the variety of improvements made over the years that have resulted in this latest thyratron pulser. The effects of the trigger, the reservoir and the load impedance on delay and rise time will be discussed.
