Deflecting high energy proton beam

[GCyrille]

hi everyone,

I have a question concerning the magnets physics more precisely about the Kickers/Dipoles.

For my work, I need to design an optical system capable of deflecting a proton beam (4 GeV) switching between to 2 angles (+ 118 mard and -118 mrad) in a raw.

Can a pulsed magnet (or a kicker) do this if it receives alternatively a negative/positive intensity? (If no intensity, the angle would be then 0 mrad).

do you know any experiment that uses this kind of deflector in the world?

best regards

Particle accelerators use these kicker magnets for injection and extraction - switching between a configuration where the beam can orbit in cycles and a configuration where new particles can enter or stored particles can leave.
Key parameters are the necessary strength and size of the magnetic field and the time between the two field configurations.
