Title Beam test of a harmonic kicker cavity
Abstract A harmonically resonant kicker cavity designed for beam exchange in a circulator cooler was built and successfully tested at the Upgraded Injector Test Facility (UITF) at Jefferson Lab. This type of cavity is being considered for the injection scheme of the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron at the Electron-Ion Collider, where the spacing of neighboring bunches demands very short kicks. Operating with five transversely deflecting modes simultaneously that resonate at 86.6 MHz and consecutive odd harmonics thereof, the prototype cavity selectively deflects 1 of 11 electron bunches while leaving the others unperturbed. An RF driver was developed to synthesize phase- and amplitude-controlled harmonic signals and combine them to drive the cavity while also separating the modes from a field-probe antenna for RF feedback and dynamic tuning. Beam deflection was measured by sweeping the cavity phase; the deflection waveform agrees with expectations, having sub-nanosecond rise and fall times. No emi
