 Title: ThomX ring injection kicker noise => USB communication issue with Alphanov amplifier 

several times already, when the electrons ring injection kicker is running @10Hz, we observed peaks at the same frequency on reflected and transmitted photodiodes,
at the exact moment when the kicker is activated. we have in addition, USB communication issues with the Alphanov amplifier... the connection is lost several times.
sometime, the connection is retrieved, sometimes not... one has to stop the Alphanov application and restart it => the laser power get down to 0 % !!!

one way to get rid to this problem could be to add a "metallic sock" around the USB cable, to connected to the ground to remove the external charges.
we could ask also for a kicker shielding as this noise could perturbate several systems in the bunker.
