A pulsed proton beam will be transported and distributed to the HBS target stations using an innovative proton beam multiplexing system. The concept is based on a combination of a kicker and a septum magnet for spatial separation of ion beam pulses as used during injection. Three different proton pulse components are separated symmetrically such that a newly developed 3-field septum magnet is employed, which features three different magnetic field regions. In combination with a bipolar kicker magnet this allows sending individual proton pulse components separately towards the respective beam line. The individual components are being developed and will be constructed and tested together with the Nuclear Physics Institute (IKP-4) of Forschungszentrum Jülich on site at the HBS Experimental Platform at Big Karl area.
