FEM (Free Electron Maser) for tokamak: Final report

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1987

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5758127· OSTI ID:5758127

This paper studies the feasibility of a microwave source for heating a tokamak reactor. The free electron maser (FEM) shows great promise for being this source. The topics covered in this paper are microwave generation with FEM, efficiency enhancement, parameter scaling, space charge scaling, beam energy spread and efficiency scaling, electron beam line with energy recovery, achromatic bend, multi-stage depressed voltage electron beam collector, and development plans. 12 refs., 10 figs., 5 tabs.
