CONCLUSIONS The kicker design for the CLIC DR is presently being studied. By using HFSS simulations the stripline kicker cross section has been optimized in order to obtain the required characteristic impedance and field homogeneity. 3D models in CST Particle Studio have been used to study the longitudinal beam impedance. Initial predictions, for both untapered and tapered striplines, compare well with analytical equations. The next step will be optimize the geometry of the kicker in order to obtain 50Ω even mode characteristic impedance, as well as the field homogeneity required. In addition it is desirable that the odd mode characteristic impedance, during operation, is as close as possible to 50 Ω. Once the new geometry is found, new longitudinal and transverse beam impedance simulations will be carried out. After that, wakefields calculations will be done. These wakefield results will be used for G. Rumolo (CERN), who will study the beam dynamics effects of the kicker.
