Four lumped-type kicker magnets have been equipped in the J-PARC MR (Main Ring) to inject 8 proton bunches. To increase beam power, the bunch length will be increased up to 350 ns that will restricts the rise time of the injection kicker to be less than 250 ns. We have already developed a method to improve the rising time to 200 ns*. However, two reflection pulses are appeared at the waveform tail, which will kick the circulating bunches and induce coherent oscillation leading to beam loss. To compensate reflection pulses, we decide to install two new lumped-type kicker magnets, which are excited independently making operation flexible. A ceramic vacuum duct with TiN coating is inserted in the compensation kickers. Magnetic field measurement and coupling impedance measurement have been carried. In this paper, the results of both these measurements and performance study using proton beam will be discussed.
