Abstract This report presents an overview of the magnetic horn and its pulsed power system at the upcoming FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) complex at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany. In the planned antiproton (pbar) separator scheme a magnetic horn will be used as a device for collection and focusing of highly divergent antiprotons emerging from the target with energies around 3 GeV and within a cone of about 80 mrad .To achieve the desired focusing effect, the horn needs to be powered with a current pulse of 400 kA peak amplitude at the same repetition rate as the primary proton beam, i.e. 0.1 Hz. In future, operation up to 0.2 Hz is planned without major design alterations. Due to civil construction and radiation protection limitations, possible technical realization of this system has some key design issues. The aim is to develop a reliable and efficient magnetic horn system for effective focusing of antiprotons by producing a very strong pulsed magnetic field.
