"Statistical Life-Time Analysis of Thyratrons in CERN Kicker Systems"
CERN has a long experience working with thyratrons in kicker systems.
A large variety of thyratrons from E2V are in use.
After a brief reminder about thyratron devices, the talk will give a summary of the tubes used in CERN kicker systems and their performance in terms of lifetime and reliability.
