Rogowski coil is used for measuring high speed current pulses or current of charged particle beams. It consists of a closed solenoid (can be any shape) with a uniform winding.
The principle of operation is based on registration of magnetic filed produced by a measured current I0(t).

6. According to the law of electromagnetic induction, for a coil located in an alternating magnetic field, the electromotive force is equal to:
where N - number of coils, F - magnetic flux through one coil.
Magnetic flux is equal to the product of magnetic induction B and the magnitude of area S, perpendicular to the direction of the field:
F=BS

26. Capacitive voltage dividerС1 С2

27. Equivalent circuit of the voltage divider
C, С1 - capacitances of the divider’s electrode cathode to the potential disk of the cathode assembly and the chamber housing, respectively;
R - load resistor;
U(t) - measured voltage;
UR - voltage at the differential divider output. 27

28. It is possible to neglect the influence of the spurious capacitance value of С1 of the differential voltage divider, when the value of С1 in the parallel R–С1 chain is small. This is fulfilled on conditions that:
The pulse duration is 100 ns, then the minimum frequency of signal spectrum is 107 Hz. 28

29. A Differential High Voltage Divider
Voltage pulse rise time is less than 5 ns, so the maximum frequency of harmonics is equal to 2 × 108 Hz. When resistance of capacitor C2 exceeding wave impedance of cable more than 10 times, the influence of the capacitance of Differential voltage divider is negligible. This is accomplished by

30. DESIGN RELATIONSHIPS The voltage at the differential divider output is
The current in the divider circuit
where UС is the voltage across С
Therefore, the voltage at the divider output is
The voltage across the divider’s capacitor is UC = U(t) – UR(t).
From relation (1), we obtain the following equation:
and, upon its transformation, 30

31. In the opposite case when the condition
When the capacitance of the differential divider to the potential disk of the cathode assembly is very large, it is possible to neglect the first summand in (2), and, therefore, U(t) = UR(t).
In the opposite case when the condition
is met, from (3), we obtain the equation relating the measured voltage to the voltage recorded at the output of the differential divider:
Attenuation coefficient of differential divider is K = 1/RC. 31
