Development of a thermionic magnicon amplifier at 11.4 GHz. Technical progress report, 16 May 1994--31 December 1995
This is a progress report on a four-year research program entitled `Development of a Thermionic Magnicon Amplifier at 11.4 GHz`, which is under way in the Plasma Physics Division of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) under Interagency Agreement DE-AI02-94ER40681. This report covers the period 16 May 1994 through 31 December 1995. The magnicon is an advanced microwave tube with potential application to future high gradient linear accelerators such as TeV colliders. Under this program, NRL plans to build and test a thermionic magnicon amplifier tube powered by a 500 kV, 200 A, 10 Hz modulator with a 1 {mu}sec pulse. However, the experiments that were carried out during the period covered by this report were driven by a single-shot Marx generator, and the electron beam was produced from a graphite plasma cathode.
