• Non-linear kickers have been installed (Max IV, SOLEIL, SIRIUS) or are being developed (ESRF-EBS, SOLEIL2) at several facilities
• Review presented at low emittance workshop 2024 here by P. Alexandre (ESRF)
• for FCC
  • Initial work by P. Hunchak, for instance here
  • no bump of circulating beam
  • possibly simpler, thicker injection septum
  • but needs compensation (second non-linear kicker to compensate the non-linearity for the circulating beam) -> strong optics constraint on phase advance and dispersion

• Status
  • specifications are being discussed
  • New summer student starting work of injection with MIK
• Prospects
  • Need to study the impact of compensation error -> beyond the lattice choice
  • GHC lattice does not provide the required optics quantities -> can we use a fake-cMIK at the injection point for now, perfect compensation
    • possibly new distribution of the injection losses will require updated 
  • LCC lattice : no work as yet, but needs to be started within the next few weeks
