Abstract The ALBA pinger magnet consists on two short kickers (for horizontal and vertical planes) installed in a single Titanium coated ceramic vacuum chamber. Single bunch measurements in the vertical plane were performed in the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source before and after the pinger installation, and by comparing the Transverse Mode Coupling Instability (TMCI) thresholds for zero chromaticity, we infer the pinger impedance and compare it with the model predictions. We also perform measurements for negative chromaticities and results are reported in this paper.
