GB-Didcot: Pulse slicer power supply feasibility study

UK Research and innovation had a requirement to commision a report to increase confidence in being able to deliver the expected Super MuSR chopper specification the report is to;

Presentation of a solution that is expected to meet the full specification.

A description and diagrams of the circuit used for the demonstration and proposal for the full system, including connection to the chopper plates.

• If the demonstration system is of a single plate (see Section 5.2.1), then consideration for the opposite charge shall be presented.
• Results from the design and testing of the demonstration system, which may include as

is relevant:

• oPerformance achieved; including voltage, rise time, jitter, pre and post transition waveforms, repetition rate and repeatability.
• oEffects of scaling the technology; such as change in rise time when increasing from one to two and from two to three series connected plates of parallel MOSFETs.
• oConditions affecting performance.
• oEffect of load on performance.
• An assessment of your level of confidence that the proposed solution is suitable to achieve the full specification, preferably in a risk assessment format where individual risks are identified and solutions presented.
• Calculations and any assumptions made.
• Suggestions of next steps needed to achieve full specification.
