Abstract
The CLIC study is investigating the technical feasibil-ity of an electron-positron collider with high luminosity and a nominal centre-of-mass energy of 3 TeV. Pre-damping rings and damping rings (DRs) will produce ultra-low emittance beam with high bunch charge. The DR kicker systems must provide extremely stable field pulses to avoid beam emittance increase. Each DR extrac-tion kicker system consists of a set of striplines and two pulse modulators. Specifications for this system require that the modulator produce pulses of 900 ns flattop dura-tion, ±12.5 kV and 305 A, with ripple and droop of not more than ±0.02 % (±2.5 V) with respect to a reference waveform. Inductive adder topology has been chosen for the pulse modulators. Two full-scale, 20-layer, 12.5 kV prototype inductive adders have been designed, built and tested at CERN. This paper presents the measurements of the stability of these adders for two different waveforms: a flat-top waveform and a controlled decay waveform, the latter of which is required to generate flat-top total field for the CLIC DR extraction stripline kicker.
