The septum magnets system of Elettra

Two septum magnets are used to deflect the 2 GeV electron beam coming from the transfer line into a trajectory which is parallel to that of the beam circulating in the storage ring Elettra. The septum magnets will be housed in a UHV vacuum tank, thus avoiding a physical separation between the transfer line and the storage ring vacuum systems. In order to obtain a high injection efficiency, the two magnets will be individually supplied with a high peak pulsed current and their positions can be individually adjusted with an external mechanical system. The design of the whole system, the manufacture and the results of the relevant tests are presented and discussed.< >
