Two pulsed power systems have been upgraded for the g-2 experiment at Fermilab. The Pbar Lithium Lens supply previously ran with a half sine pulsed current of 75 kA peak, 400 us duration and a repetition rate of 0.45 pps. For the g-2 experiment, the peak current was reduced to 25 kA, but the repetition rate was increased to an average of 12 pps. Furthermore, the pulses come in a burst of 8 with 10 ms between each of 8 pulses and then a delay until the next burst. The charging rate has gone up by a factor of 20 due to the burst speed. A major challenge for the upgrade was to charge the capacitor bank while keeping the power line loading and charging supply cost to a reasonable level. This paper will discuss how those issues were solved and results from the operational system.

A robust and portable power supply has been developed specifically for charging linear transformer drivers, a modern incarnation of fast pulsed power generators. It is capable of generator +100 kV and -100 kV at 1 mA, while withstanding the large voltage spikes generated when the pulsed-power generator is triggered. The three-stage design combines a zero-voltage switching circuit, a step-up transformer using ferrite cores, and a dual Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier. The zero-voltage switching circuit drives the primary of the transformer in parallel with a capacitor. With this driver, the tank circuit naturally remain in its resonant state, allowing for maximum energy coupling between the zero-voltage switching circuit and the Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier across a wide range of loading conditions.
A 1-5 MeV proton beamline is being built by the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority in collaboration with a number of graduate students from different universities. The primary goal of the project, is to acquire the design ability and manufacturing capability of all the components locally. SPP will be an accelerator and beam diagnostics test facility and it will also serve the detector development community with its low beam current. This paper discusses the design and construction of the RF power supply and the RF transmission line components such as its waveguide converters and its circulator. Additionally low and high power RF test results are presented to compare the performances of the locally produced components to the commercially available ones.
The technique of current splitting is presented as part of an integrated circuit development for an X-ray imager. This method enables integration of charge signals of unprecedented magnitude in small pixels, achieving a dynamic range of ${10^5}$. Results from two front end prototypes are given and a final optimized design is proposed.
The CLEO III detector has recently commenced data taking at the Cornell electron Storage Ring (CESR). One important component of this detector is a 4 layer double-sided silicon tracker with 93% solid angle coverage. This detector ranges in size and number of readout channels between the LEP and LHC silicon detectors. In order to reach the detector performance goals of signal-to-noise ratios greater than 15:1 low noise front-end electronics together with highly regulated low noise power supplies were used. In this paper we describe the low-noise power supply system and associated monitoring and safety features used by the CLEO III silicon tracker.
We summarize the recent activity of our group in the calibration, monitoring and gain stabilization of photodetectors, primarily silicon photomultipliers, in calorimeters using scintillator as active medium. The task originally solved for the CALICE analog hadron calorimeter founds application in other experiments.
