Description
A new eddy current septum for the fast extraction from CERN’s Proton Synchrotron has been designed and constructed. This development aims to improve the magnet's reliability, extend its service interval, and reduce radiation exposure for maintenance personnel. The new eddy current device is set to replace the existing direct-drive magnet and its ageing power converter.
This paper summarizes the electromagnetic design calculations, the mechanical concept and the subsequent detailed design implementation. It also describes the magnet's construction process and the results from the comprehensive validation tests, including magnetic field measurements, to achieve operational readiness ahead of commissioning in the Proton Synchrotron accelerator.
