A waveguide overloaded cavity kicker for the HLS Ⅱlongitudinal feedback system

In the upgrade project of Hefei Light Source（HLSⅡ）,a new digital longitudinal bunch-by-bunch feedback system will be developed to suppress the coupled bunch instabilities in the storage ring effectively.We design a new waveguide overloaded cavity longitudinal feedback kicker as the feedback actuator.The beam pipe of the kicker is a racetrack shape so as to avoid a transition part to the octagonal vacuum chamber.The central frequency and the bandwidth of the kicker have been simulated and optimized to achieve design goals by the HFSS code.A higher shunt impedance can be obtained by using a nose cone to reduce the feedback power requirement.Before the kicker cavity was installed in the storage ring,a variety of measurements were carried out to check its performance.All these results of simulation and measurement are presented.
