Relativistic klystrons are being developed as a power source for high-gradient accelerator applications which include compact accelerators, large linear electron-positron colliders, and FEL sources. We have attained 200 MW peak power at 11.4 GHz from a relativistic klystron, and 140 MV longitudinal gradient in a short 1.4-GHz accelerator section. We report here on the design of our first klystrons, the results of our experiments so far, and some of our plans for the near future. 4 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
