Abstract

Analytic tradeoff equations based on adiabatic assumptions are used to explore feasible design regions for single-anode Magnetron Injection Guns (MIG's). Particle simulations are then used to optimize a single-anode and a double-anode design for a 1-[mu]s, 500-kV, 600-A MIG which is required for a second-harmonic gyroklystron. The advantages and disadvantages of each configuration are critically examined.

Design of magnetron injection gun for 94 GHz gyro-amplifiers

Conference Nguyen, K; Danly, B; Levush, B; ...

The Naval Research Laboratory has recently initiated design and development effort to develop a high average power GHz gyroklystron. The amplifier will operate in the TE{sub 01} mode the fundamental cyclotron harmonic. Because of the critical dependence of gyro-amplifier efficiency on the electron beam quality, a key element in this effort is the gun design. The overall goal of the gun design work is to account for various contribution factors to beam velocity spread and to minimize the beam sensitivity to their influence. In addition to the beam spread resulting from the usual beam optics, these factors include cathode surfacemore »« less
High peak power gyroklystron with an inverted magnetron injection gun

Technical Report Read, Michael; Lawson, Wesley; Miram, George; ...

Calabazas Creek Research Inc. (CCR) has investigated the feasibility of a 30 GHz gyroklystron amplifier for driving advanced accelerators. Gyroklystrons have been shown to be efficient sources of high power radiation at frequencies above X-Band and are, therefore, well suited for driving high frequency accelerators. CCR's gyroklystron design includes a novel inverted magnetron injection gun (MIG) that allows support and cooling of the coaxial inner conductor of the circuit. This novel gun provides a very high quality electron beam, making it possible to achieve a cavity design with an efficiency of 54%. During Phase I, it was determined that themore »« less

A double-beam magnetron-injection gun for third-harmonic continuous wave 1-THz gyrotron

Journal Article Glyavin, M.; Manuilov, V.; Idehara, T. - Physics of Plasmas

The concept of a continuous wave 1-kW/1-THz gyrotron operated at the third cyclotron harmonic of the transverse electric TE{sub 9,7} operating mode has been developed. To suppress the mode competition effects in a terahertz gyrotron, we propose a scheme with two generating helical electron beams (HEBs) formed in a double-beam triode magnetron-injection gun (MIG), where both emitters of the electron beams are located on a common cathode of the conventional MIG. An optimal geometry of the MIG electrodes is found. It is shown that in a proposed scheme two HEBs having close pitch factors and a moderate velocity spread canmore »« less

Design of a high-power, high-gain, 2nd harmonic, 22.848 GHz gyroklystron

Journal Article Veale, M.; Purohit, P.; Lawson, W. - AIP Advances

In this paper we consider the design of a four-cavity, high-gain K-band gyroklystron experiment for high gradient structure testing. The frequency doubling gyroklystron utilizes a beam voltage of 500 kV and a beam current of 200 A from a magnetron injection gun (MIG) originally designed for a lower-frequency device. The microwave circuit features input and gain cavities in the circular TE{sub 011} mode and penultimate and output cavities that operate at the second harmonic in the TE{sub 021} mode. We investigate the MIG performance and study the behavior of the circuit for different values of perpendicular to parallel velocity ratiomore »« less

Design of a 50 MW, 34 GHz second harmonic coaxial gyroklystron for advanced accelerators

Conference Arjona, M; Lawson, W

At the University of Maryland, the authors have been investigating the feasibility of using gyroklystrons and gyroklystrons as drivers for linear colliders and advanced accelerators for a number of years. The most recent experimental tube achieved a peak power of about 80 MW at 8.57 GHz with 32% efficiency and over 30 dB gain with a three-cavity first harmonic circuit. The current experimental effort is devoted to producing about 100 MW of peak power at 17.14 GHz with a second-harmonic three-cavity tube. Some schemes for advanced linear colliders with center-of-mass energies of 5 TeV or more expect to require highermore »« less
