| Abstract |
A special feature of the European XFEL X-ray laser is the possibility to distribute the electron bunches of one beam pulse to different free-electron laser (FEL) beam-lines. This is achieved through a combination of kickers and a Lambertson DC septum. The integration of a beam abort dump allows a flexible selection of the bunch pattern at the FEL experiment, while the superconducting linear accelerator operates with constant beam loading. The driver linac of the FEL can deliver up to 600 µs long bunch trains with a repetition rate of 10 Hz and a maximum energy of 17.5 GeV. The FEL process poses very strict requirements on the stability of the beam position and hence on all upstream magnets. It was therefore decided to split the beam distribution system into two kicker systems, long pulse kickers with very stable amplitude (flat-top) and relatively slow pulses and fast stripline kickers with moderate stability but very fast pulses. This contribution gives a brief overview of the fast kicker system.
